Mission:

Increase awareness of patient assistance programs and boost enrollment of those who are eligible. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance offers a single point of access to more than 275 public and private patient assistance programs, including more than 150 programs offered by pharmaceutical companies.

What We Offer:

» Help for Those in Need

Many people have difficulty affording health care, including prescription medicines. A number of patient assistance programs provide help to patients who lack prescription drug coverage and earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level (approximately $19,000 for an individual or $31,000 for a family of three).*

More than 29 million people in the United States make less than 200% of the federal poverty level and have no health insurance.

» Access to the Medicines They Need

Patients will be directed to the public or private programs most likely to meet their needs. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance helps qualifying patients without prescription coverage:

Enroll in more than 275 patient assistance programs;

Access more than 1,200 medicines;

Learn how to contact government programs for which they may qualify, such as Medicaid, Medicare, or the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

* Qualifications vary by programs. Income levels vary by state.

All responses to these questions are completely confidential.
