IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CANCER PATIENTS WHO CAN NOT AFFORD THE PAYMENT OF CANCER DRUGS

Many cancer patients are unable to pay for prescription drugs either because they are uninsured, under-insured, or simply can’t make the co-payments on their prescriptions. Because of this, some pharmaceutical companies have developed Prescription Assistance or Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that offer medications to some people who cannot afford them. The companies often restrict the programs to: U.S. citizens; people who make below a certain income; people who either lack prescription drug coverage or those with coverage whose insurer has denied coverage of a particular drug. However, if you are denied access to a program, you may appeal the decision. Be sure to let the company know your circumstances, as they may work with you to find a solution. More HERE
