Help for those who can't afford prescriptions

Submitted by georgiana on Tue, 10/28/2008 - 03:37.

A member of a support group for a major neurological disorder directed me to the Partnership for Prescription Assistance Program, found at https://www.pparx.org/Intro.php.

The following quote is from the about page on their website.

Who We Are

The Partnership for Prescription Assistance brings together America's pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other health care providers, patient advocacy organizations and community groups to help qualifying patients who lack prescription coverage get the medicines they need through the public or private program that's right for them. Many will get them free or nearly free. Among the organizations collaborating on this program are the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, the Lupus Foundation of America, the NAACP, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health and the National Medical Association. To access the Partnership for Prescription Assistance by phone, you can call toll-free, 1-888-4PPA-NOW (1-888-477-2669).

Our Mission

Our mission is to 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 475 public and private patient assistance programs, including more than 180 programs offered by pharmaceutical companies.

Maybe they'll be able to help you or someone you know. Best of luck.
