Looking for patient assistance programs for prescription medication? PhRMA's new interactive website provides a one-stop link to thousands of medicines offered through patient assistance programs sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, government, and local organizations. Easy to use, the website customizes the search based on patient profile or by name of medication needed. The website can be used by physicians, patients themselves, or by caregivers. It targets the patient assistance program that will be of the best service, provides eligibility information, and explains the application and eligibility process, which varies by company and program.
