Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are services offered by pharmaceutical companies for those who cannot afford their medication. Patient assistance programs are available to low-income individuals or families who are under-insured or uninsured and are provided to those who meet the eligibility guidelines. Many PAP’s provide their medication completely free or at a significant discount off the uninsured cost.
