Getting Assistance

Accessing medications that you need can be difficult, but there are often programs such as Patient Assistance Programs or state and/or federally funded ADAPs (for HIV and some hepatitis medications) or medication assistance programs that can help. Other Drug Types are also available such as drugs for diabetes, cancers, and heart disease.

Our objective is to help you learn about these programs, as well as maximize your benefits through Medicare, Medicaid, or any type of private insurance you might have. The goal is to reduce your expenses to the smallest amount possible, and to make sure you know you do have options.

The Network is a national, non-profit community based organization that provides case management, treatment and access information, advocacy and counseling, education, and referral services for people with HIV, chronic hepatitis, and other diseases.

You can help us out by sending an e-mail to us first so we have basic information on how we can best help you. Using this form, let us know if you have any kind of insurance and what kind if you do, your state and zip code, and a way to respond to your questions. Make sure to include your e-mail address and a phone number if you like. Any information you send us is confidential. We don't share your identifying information with anyone.
