Patient Assistance Program
at Uptown Pharmacy
At Uptown Pharmacy, we believe that everyone deserves access to the medications they need. Our Patient Assistance Program (PAP) is designed to help eligible patients obtain prescription medications at reduced or no cost, ensuring that financial barriers don’t stand in the way of your health and well-being.
Why Use the Patient Assistance Program?
Affordable Medication Access
PAP helps lower the cost of prescription drugs for patients who qualify, making essential medications more affordable and accessible.
Support for Uninsured & Underinsured
If you lack insurance coverage or your insurance doesn’t cover certain medications, PAP can provide financial relief and improve medication adherence.
Wide Range of Medications Covered
Many pharmaceutical manufacturers offer PAPs for a variety of medications, from chronic condition treatments to specialty drugs.
What Is the Patient Assistance Program?
The Patient Assistance Program is a partnership between pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies that provides prescription medications at little or no cost to eligible patients. Here are eight key points about the program:
Who Qualifies for PAP?
PAP eligibility typically depends on income level, insurance status, and medical need. Our team will help you determine if you meet the requirements and assist with the application.
How to Apply
We support patients by completing the necessary paperwork, gathering documentation, and submitting applications on your behalf to streamline the process.
Medications Included
Many medications, including those for diabetes, cancer, HIV, and rare diseases, are covered under PAP. Our pharmacists can help identify which drugs are available through these programs.
