In an era marked by medical advancements, a concerning truth remains — over one-third of Americans struggle to afford prescription medications. Pharmaceutical data reveals that over half of approved scripts are abandoned when out of pocket expenses are over $125. Additionally, recent data reveals that 36% of the patients in the US found paying for prescriptions either very difficult (5.4%) or somewhat difficult (30.5%) over the past year.
While Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) exist as a safety net for Americans who are struggling to afford their medications, they can be difficult to access and understand. A 2018 study suggested providers don’t always know which patients would be best for which PAPs because of a lack of clear information on eligibility and benefits.
This financial strain not only jeopardizes patient care but poses a serious threat to public health. It's a pressing issue that demands a solution. To solve this challenge, we’re excited to launch Savings Finder—an efficient tool built to help HCPs skip the cumbersome research process and find patient assistance programs in seconds.
