Patient Assistance Programs : Sometimes a state has a waiting list until certain programs become available. You may need to try a Patient Assistance Program, or try to get Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance first. Do not ever drop your private insurance without first seeing if your state will cover part or the whole premium, especially if you have children. The pharmaceutical industry has set up programs that offer medications for free, or sometimes at a very low price. You may have to apply directly to a specific company, or use a national service set up by a group of companies like pparx.org. Your doctor or another member of your health care team like a case manager will usually help you out to apply, and you may need to apply to more than one company for the treatments you need.National and State Access News - We keep track of the efforts of community groups, professional groups, educational resources, and federal and state proposals and laws that could affect how and whether care and treatment can be accessed. Let us know of any changes or proposed changes, and the things going on in your state so The Access Project can inform others and explain how they might affect you.
