Patient Assitance Program
For when you can't afford the drugs you need - even with the Discount Rx Card or the Mail-Order Program.
How It Works
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) provide low cost prescription medicine to people who are uninsured or under-insured and meet income guidelines. ("Under insured" can mean your specific prescription medication may not be covered under your drug plan).
The services provided with this program include:
- Evaluate your eligibility.
- Research the availability of the medications you need.
- Match your individual prescriptions to the appropriate programs.
- Advise you of your options and recommend the programs that meet your needs.
Once you are ready to apply for the Patient Assistance Programs your advocate will:
- Access the forms and fulfill the application processing for each patient, thus becoming the communication link between the physician’s office and the Pharmaceutical Companies.
- Order your refills as needed.
- Inform you when it is time to renew your applications.
- Answer your questions and make updates to your information.
- Stay current on trends and changes in available programs and how they affect your situation.
There is a one-time application fee of $25 which is refunded if you were to not be approved for the program. You will pay only $20 per medication per month on most medications, upon approval for the program.
