When Medication Costs Feel Overwhelming: How Pace Healthcare Can Help
What to do when your patient portion is too much
For many patients in Wayne, Holmes and Ashland Counties in Ohio, infusion therapy can be life-changing. But we also know it can come with a tough challenge such as copays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses that sometimes feel impossible to manage.
At Pace Healthcare, we never want cost to be the reason someone in our community has to stop or delay treatment. That’s why we make it a priority to help patients in Wooster, Orrville, Smithville, Rittman, Dalton and throughout all of Wayne and Holmes Counties to explore every possible resource for financial assistance.
You’re Not Alone in This
It’s not uncommon for insurance to leave patients with a large portion of their medication cost. For some, this creates a real barrier to continuing therapy. We’ve seen how stressful this can be, not just physically, but emotionally.
The good news? There are charitable foundations and assistance programs designed specifically to help people with chronic and rare conditions pay for their treatments. These programs can help cover copays, premiums, deductibles, and other medication-related costs. There are also copay assistance plans that can help cover patient portions.
While funding is often limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, getting on a program’s waiting list can make all the difference when funds become available.
Patient Assistance Programs Worth Exploring
Here are some trusted national programs that some of our patients in Wayne County have successfully used:
Assists with copays, premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses for essential treatments.
Provides financial assistance to help underinsured patients access critical medications.
Supports people with life-threatening, chronic, and rare diseases in affording their treatments.
Offers resources for life-saving and life-extending treatments, with support for eligible patients nationwide.
Each program has its own eligibility requirements, covered conditions, and application process. Some open new funding throughout the year, so being prepared and applying early can improve your chances.
