With approximately 28 million uninsured Americans in 2020, and millions more considered under-insured, Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) and other free goods programs (including Medicare Part D patient assistance programs) have been introduced to help patients obtain the drugs they need.
Pharmaceutical companies who offer these programs and provide free or low-cost prescription drugs to patients who qualify hope that it helps patients comply with recommended drug therapies.[1] These programs are offered by the manufacturer and managed by hub service providers.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers work with hub service providers to increase access and adherence to these new drugs by developing and administering products and services for patients. Pharmaceutical manufacturer patient assistance support programs may include: Quick Start programs and Bridge programs.
To streamline the dispensing of these manufacturer provided products directly to patients in need, non-commercial pharmacies (NCPs) have been developed by hub service providers to serve this population. NCPs improve patient access to therapy by helping to reduce provider issues and simplifying the enrollment process.
