Assistant Programs for Patients

In attempt to defeat or circumvent the recent proliferation of on-line foreign pharnacies and keep the status quo on high US prescription prices for the general publuc, the US parmaceutical industry is now offering easier to acquire free medications. These are known as Assistance Programs.

Generally, an assistance program provides prescription medicines to patients who do not have prescription drug coverage or who are underinsured through either private and/or government health plans and who have limited income.

The pharmaceutical companies have traditionally worked with doctors to identify patients in need who would benefit most from programs involving their medication assistant programs. In the past it has been relatively difficult for the income-challanged person to participate in these programs evn on the odd chance they could find them.

Assistance Programs are the Pharmaceutical Industry’s best-kept secret (although many are begining to advertise their free programs in an effort to thwart legislation to force them to do so). Some drugs have been supported by Assistance Programs for quite a while.

Each company determines the eligibility criteria for its program; eligibility criteria and the application processes vary. Basic eligibility criteria generally involve income limitations, family size, and status of insurance coverage for prescription drugs.

Information on individual programs can be obtained from the PRX Member Website.
