Accessing Medication Patient Assistance Programs
Even the most effective drug is useless if people don’t take it because it’s so expensive. Today’s high prices are pushing more and more patients into nonadherence. Accessing Medication Patient Assistance Programs: Thinking Outside the Box will provide advocates with resources to find free drug and copay assistance programs through pharmaceutical manufacturers. It will also describe independent 501c3 foundations with disease state funds available to cover copay assistance, insurance premiums and transportation costs. Finally, barriers and solutions to accessing available programs will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify medication patient assistance and support options from multiple major pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as independent 501c3 foundation disease state funds.
- Explain the pathways for assistance to minimize out of pocket expenses for Medicare patients.
- Overcoming barriers to accessing programs and finding contacts to assist with difficult cases.
