Helping
patients.org is an interactive web site that works with 48 different
drug companies. The site was designed to help patients find assistance
programs for which they may qualify. The service is free and completely
confidential. The site is www.helpingpatients.org
The
patient is responsible for obtaining the application form from
the drug company and collecting the documentation required. The
patient's next step is to make an appointment with their physician
or the staff physician here to have the physician sign the form
and write the prescription per guidelines of the application.
The patient then mails the information to the drug company and
is responsible for keeping track of refills and any other info
required. Some companies require an advocate to obtain the initial
forms. We can help with this process
