Private Sector Solution for Prescription Assistance
The Partnership for Prescription Assistance of Kansas is part of a nationwide program. It brings together biopharmaceutical research companies, health care providers, patient advocacy organizations, and community groups to help qualifying patients who lack prescription coverage get the medicines they need through a public or private program that's right for them.

This program, sponsored in part by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), who helped fund The Chamber’s statewide Health Care Now Tour last year, is another example of a private sector solution to the rising costs of healthcare.

Through a toll-free number and Web site, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance offers a single point of access to more than 475 public and private patient assistance programs, including more than 150 programs offered by pharmaceutical companies.

Many patients are eligible for public programs based on their age or income. Some patients in need qualify for private programs that offer prescription medicines for free or nearly free. The mission of the Partnership for Prescription Assistance is to increase awareness of these programs and boost enrollment of those who are eligible as Medicaid, Medicare, or the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.
