PRESCRIPTIONS AND HEALTHCARE

Pharmaceuticals play an increasingly important role in health care. Many uninsured individuals and families face considerable financial barriers in obtaining needed medications and must often pay full retail price. The inability to access needed medications because of price is a major concern for many American individuals and families.

The high cost of prescriptions cause many uninsured individuals not to take proper dosage of their medications as prescribed by their physician. A study of adults with a chronic illness showed forty-one percent do not fill their prescriptions due to cost and, all said, they do not take their medications as prescribed due to cost.

More and more uninsured individuals and families make trade offs between medications and basic living needs. Prescription assistance Programs alone cannot solve all the problems facing the uninsured, but it can help ease the financial burden many face with the high cost of prescription medication. These programs have been available to those in need since the early 1960’s.

We are creating awareness of the programs by working with individuals, families,
healthcare providers and professionals.


WHAT IS A PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM?

Patient Assistance Programs (PAP) have been available through Pharmaceutical companies for over 50 years. Tens of millions of prescriptions were filled last year with a wholesale value in the billions and many of these could have been obtained through these programs but weren’t, mainly through lack of education and knowledge of how these programs work. PAPs are for individuals who have no public or private prescription drug coverage, meet certain income guidelines and whose medications are on the program. If it is creating a financial hardship for your patients to get their prescription medicines, they may qualify for the Patient Assistance Program.

ATTENTION HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

Is your staff overwhelmed with Patient Assistance Programs and other assistance paperwork?
Do you have patients struggling to afford their medications?

Let us handle the qualification, paperwork, refills, and general management for you while you concentrate on giving expert patient care.

For those of you who have never utilized the Patient Assistance Programs, we will provide them to your patients who qualify. For you who currently utilize these programs, we can take that burden from you. Both services will be at no charge to your office!

We understand the importance of partnering Healthcare Professionals, Physicians, Nurses, Social Workers, and Hospitals with Patient Assistance Programs sponsored by National Pharmaceutical Companies. In today's economy, people need relief from the high cost of maintenance medications. Without it, many patients can’t afford their medications which can have negative affects for not only the patient and doctor, but overall healthcare costs in general. Not taking one’s medications in order to be able to eat or have a roof over their head is not a decision RxMedAssist thinks millions of people should have to make.



RxMedAssist helps those who:
• Do not have public or private prescription drug coverage.
• Meet certain economic guidelines.
• Take prescriptions that are on one of the Patient Assistance Programs.
• These programs are available regardless of age or employment status.
