One problem is that it's often hard to learn about these programs. Our goal is to make this information easily accessible. Each company has its own program with its special requirements, forms, and procedures. Actually, some companies have different programs for different drugs. Some of the companies will send forms to social workers or to patients, and a few will forward the forms to the physician's office at the request of the social worker or patient.
Policies vary from company to company.
Some companies publicize their programs, others do everything they can to hide theirs. The information we have was obtained directly from the drug manufacturers. We have tried to be as accurate as possible. However, we can't be responsible for any errors or omissions. Sometimes the companies change their requirements, paperwork, or policies, or they are not consistent in the information they give out.
