Statewide Patient Assistance Program

• We are developing a statewide Patient Assistance Program (PAP) for uninsured low-income patients.

• PAPs allow patients who qualify to receive free medication from pharmaceutical manufacturers.

• To qualify, patients typically need to meet income guidelines of up to 200% of the federal poverty level.

• Our program streamlines the PAP process through more efficient computer technology, reducing paperwork and increasing public access.

Case Study

• The Kentucky Prescription Assistance Program has generated nearly $1 billion in free or reduced-cost prescriptions for qualified Kentuckians.

• The program surpassed $100 million in savings in the first 24 months of service.

• Our Drug Assistance program is reducing state-budgeted mental health drug purchases by millions annually.

• Community and State Mental Health Centers can access generics and name-brand PAPs to provide medications at no charge.

• These patient assistance programs are saving our clients millions while reducing their dependency on state-funded medication programs.
