What kind of support do Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) provide?

Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are specifically designed to help individuals who may have difficulty affording their medications. These programs typically provide medication and copayment assistance, ensuring that even those with limited financial means can access the necessary prescriptions for managing their health conditions. This includes offering free or low-cost medications directly to eligible patients or helping to cover out-of-pocket costs associated with prescriptions, thereby reducing the financial burden on patients.

PAPs focus primarily on aiding with medications, which is crucial for individuals who may not have insurance coverage or are underinsured, allowing for better adherence to treatment plans and improved health outcomes. By directly addressing the cost barriers to medication, PAPs play a vital role in medication therapy management and overall patient health.
