ALLIANCE FOR PHARMACEUTICAL ACCESS INCORPORATED

Description

APA utilizes a comprehensive patient-centered case management approach to medication access for anyone struggling to afford their prescription medications. If a client needs specialty or brand name medications, we enroll qualifying individuals into Patient Assistance Programs directly through the pharmaceutical companies; if they qualify for Medi-Cal we refer them to the nearest social services office or certified enrollment counselor; if they are insured or have Medicare or Medi-Cal but are unable to afford their out of pocket expenses for their medications, we seek co-payment assistance programs, and on-line discounted or non-profit pharmacies for (available) generic medications. For patients with health insurance, out-of-pocket costs vary widely, from a small copay to thousands of dollars.
