WHAT ARE MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS?

A Medication Assistance Program (MAP) is a service that helps people get access to prescription medications, especially if they have difficulty affording them. These programs are often offered by pharmaceutical companies, non-profit organizations, or government agencies. They may provide free or discounted medications to eligible individuals based on factors like income, insurance status, or specific medical conditions. The goal is to ensure that people can get the medications they need, even if they can’t afford them out of pocket.
