Partnership for Prescription Assistance

Many people have difficulty affording health care, including prescription medicines. A number of prescription assistance programs provide help to consumers who lack prescription drug coverage and earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level (approximately $19,000 for an individual or $31,000 for a family of three). More than 27 million people in the United States make less than 200% of the federal poverty level and are uninsured.

The Partnership for Prescription Assistance brings together America's pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other health care providers, patient advocacy organizations and community groups to help qualifying consumers who lack prescription coverage get the medicines they need through the public or private program that's right for them. Many will get them free or nearly free.  Its mission is to increase awareness of prescription assistance programs and boost enrollment of those who are eligible. Through the prescription assistance program, consumers will be directed to the public or private programs most likely to meet their needs.

In order to find out what prescription assistance programs you may qualify for, all you have to do is answer a few short eligibility questions.  You can then follow the instructions on the application to apply.

On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA), which renews and expands coverage of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) from 7 million children to 11 million children.  CHIP was previously known as the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).  Each State, Territory, and the District of Columbia has a coordinator for the SCHIP program who is responsible for the administration of the approved SCHIP state plan.
