What are Patient Assistance Programs?

In response to the growing cost of medicine, patient assistant programs are helping patients who qualify receive medication free of charge. Qualifications vary from company to company, but most are based on income and lack of outpatient prescription coverage. Age is not a factor in order to qualify.

What makes a person eligible for patient assistance programs?

Each pharmaceutical company has it’s own eligibility requirements. Income and lack of prescription drug coverage is normally the most important criteria for determining whether someone can enroll. The patient also must not qualify for any third party coverage, such as a state or federal program that would cover the cost of their medicine. Individual’s income criteria vary with family incomes ranging from below the poverty level up to $60,000. These are for medications that are used to treat things such as Multiple Sclerosis, Aids, Cancer, or other rare disorders. Medications for these specific illnesses are extremely expensive and are therefore subject to different guidelines by the companies that manufacture them. Other factors such as number of people in the household and total medical cost may also be considered.

Why do I have to pay anything?

Although the medication is provided free of charge from the pharmaceutical companies, there is a lot of work that goes into making sure all of the paperwork is filled out correctly to recieve the medication.  The modest fee is to cover these efforts.  We take care of all of the follow up and the appeal process when necessary.  We are your advocates.

How many pills per order?

Each pharmaceutical company is different.  You will usually receive a three month supply of pills, but some medication is provided every month and other medications are supplied every six months.  All this information is in our data base and set up so that you don’t need to remember when each medication needs to be reordered.

How is the medication sent?

Depending on the pharmaceutical company, and the type of medication, it will either be sent to the physician’s office, or directly to the patient’s house. Some may send a voucher that is taken to your local pharmacy and redeemed. Specific information on how it is dispensed should be on the application. If applying for more than one medication, the applicant should be aware that they would arrive at different times, since it is manufactured and sponsored by different companies. Normally a three-month supply is sent each time.

How often do I have to reorder?

After you give us the initial paperwork, all you need to do is give us a call and leave a message telling us what medication you have received and when you will start taking it.  We do all of the reorders.

Do I have to fill out an application with every order?

No.  We take care of all of the paperwork after your first order.
