In the past decade, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) has helped connect nearly 9.5 million uninsured or underinsured Americans to patient assistance programs that provide prescription medicines for free or nearly free.

Patient assistance programs help hundreds of thousands of people each year, but PPA is committed to doing even more.  The recently updated PPA website – www.pparx.org – includes a key feature: a free and low-cost clinic finder. It’s a user-friendly tool that allows patients to find free and low-cost clinics across the country using an interactive map.

According to public sources, these clinics provide assistance to patients who need help with affordable access to health care. The clinics offer services ranging from primary care, dental care, and physical therapy, to patient education programs, mental health services, and patient support groups. The PPA website includes information on nearly 10,000 free and low-cost health care clinic listings throughout the United States.

PPA proudly works to help patients who need assistance to find programs that provide prescription medicines for free or nearly free.

If you or someone you love struggles with affordable access to medicines there are resources available that may be able to help: The Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) helps connect patients with patient assistance programs that provide free or nearly free prescription medicines.
