Global Total Health’s Patient Assistance Programs can help you get your prescriptions filled without causing you more hardship. Many people get discouraged though and never get the help they need because the enrollment process can be long, complicated and overwhelming. The average American is on four to five monthly maintenance drugs.
That's why you need Global Total Health’s Prescription Assistance Program with Patient Advocates in your corner.
Patient Assistant Programs are run by pharmaceutical companies to aid uninsured, low income Americans in receiving free or low-cost prescription drugs. Patient Assistant Programs began back in the 1950's, thanks to incentives from the U.S. government. Unfortunately though, Patient Assistant Programs have evolved into large bureaucracies with long, complicated enrollment processes that can overwhelm patients and discourage participation.
For example, one pharmaceutical company can have a different Patient Assistance Program for every drug it manufactures with different eligibility requirements for each drug. Furthermore, Patient Assistant Programs will often reject a patient for a single error in the paperwork and they require ongoing paperwork every three months. There are over 800 plus Prescription Assistance Programs with over 4,000 eligible medications.
Global Total Health’s Prescription Advocacy's team of specialists are on your side. We cut through red tape, saving you costly errors and overwhelming paperwork. We also ensure that you qualify for the maximum amount of financial assistance while continuing to receive your prescriptions every month.
There are over 250 Patient Assistance Programs and each has different guidelines to qualify.
Though you will generally qualify if you meet these three conditions:
1. Be a U.S. Resident
2. Are uninsured and not enrolled in Medicaid
3. Have an income level that causes hardship when paying for retail prescriptions
The exact definition of economic “hardship” varies with each Patient Assistance Program, though most adhere to a formula related to the Federal Poverty guidelines. Most of our Prescription Assistance Programs allow income limits under 200% of the Federal Poverty guidelines, however, certain Prescription Assistance Programs can go as high as 500 % above the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Below is the Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2012.
