Patient Assistance Program

The ever-escalating costs of many prescription medications have created barriers to accessing necessary treatment for people who are uninsured, underinsured, and/or have a low income. The somewhat negative term often used to refer to folks in this category is "medically indigent." More Americans are falling into this category each year, with 20.6 percent of the U.S. population (~62 million people) uninsured as of 2010 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. It can be argued that the pricing practices of the pharmaceutical industry have helped to create this situation. But industry has also created a response to the problem by creating Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs).

We know the programs and rules and we can help you and your family receives FREE PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS.

What are Patient Assistance Programs?

Patient Assistance Program are drug company plans that provide free medications to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured people who need them.


Who is eligible to participate in PAPs?

Each program is somewhat different, so always contact the PAP directly for its specific eligibility criteria. The following are general guidelines for most programs:

  • You must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident.

  • You must have a doctor or other healthcare provider who can write prescriptions and treat you.

  • You can't have any health insurance that provides prescription coverage.

  • You can't be eligible for Medicaid, Medi-Cal (in California), ADAP (AIDS Drug Assistance Program), or any other drug assistance program.

  • You must meet the annual income limits of the specific program.



    • How do I prepare for application to a PAP?

    We send you all the necessary paperwork and a list of the supporting information needed for you to get FREE PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS. We also contact all your healthcare providers on your behalf, verify their information, and handle all that paperwork for you.


    Can immigrants (legal/illegal/undocumented) qualify for PAPs?

    In practice, drug companies don't want to act as immigration police and usually don't check into these situations beyond what is stated on the form by the applicant. If you have a social security number, currently live in the U.S., and qualify in all other ways, you will usually be approved.


    Do I need a healthcare provider before I contact a PAP?

    Yes, you need a doctor or other healthcare provider who can legally write prescriptions. The application form almost always has to be sent or faxed to your healthcare provider to complete. Quite often, the PAP requires a healthcare provider to apply on your behalf. If your primary provider is a registered nurse (RN), nurse practitioner (NP), or physician assistant (PA), don't worry. They almost always work closely with a physician who can sign the forms if the PAP requires it.
