Patient Assistance Programs

Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are initiatives offered by pharmaceutical companies, non-profit organizations, or government agencies to help individuals access medications and healthcare services they may struggle to afford. These programs typically provide free or discounted prescription drugs to eligible patients, often based on income level, insurance status, or specific medical needs. Patients usually need to apply for these programs and may require their healthcare provider's assistance. PAPs aim to improve health outcomes by ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent individuals from receiving necessary medications and care.
