Prescription medications range from treating the average flu to treating the worst of medical ailments. They are prescribed during 66% of the doctor visits in America to help patients with a number of different medical ailments. The utilizing of correct medications can help patients recover faster and more effectively, but not having access to them could mean worsening symptoms and even death. Not being able to pay for prescribed medications affects millions of Americans a year, which is why patient assistance programs have come into effect. If you need prescription help, patient assistance programs offered through Advocate My Meds may be able to assist you so that you don’t have to skip a dose ever again.

Prescription Cost Statistics

In America, there are almost 50 million individuals that do not have health insurance, and 80% of those individuals have jobs. Not included in this number are the millions of others who have health insurance, but do not have a plan that covers the cost of medications. Older individuals, people with more than one health condition and medication, and those with low annual incomes are affected by the price surge of prescriptions the greatest. Many of these people have to resort to skipping doses or foregoing treatment completely just to stay afloat. Skipping or stopping treatment can lead to adverse health reactions and can be potentially fatal for those with life-threatening conditions.

Prescription Help through Patient Assistance Programs

Large manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and nonprofit organizations have recognized this need for the American citizen to be able to afford needed medications. To help, over 700 of these organizations offer prescription help through patient assistance programs.  Each program offers help for specific drugs depending on the organization, and either provides discounts or covers the cost of the medications completely. Advocate My Meds works by sifting through these 700 programs to allocate the correct ones for each patient. No matter how many medications a patient may have, there is no limit to the amount of prescription help they can receive through patient assistance programs. Onced matched to the programs that work best to provide prescription help for that patient, medications are either severely discounted or covered completely and the patient is only left to pay a small monthly fee for the service.
