Medication Assistance Program
turning "can't afford" into "can begin"

Financial toxicity is the most common reason treatment stops. PAP uses three instruments — donation, co-pay support and installment payment — to lower the financial threshold for starting and continuing therapy, with MediPASS carrying eligibility, dispensing and audit.

Enrollment rule: All donation support programs require assessment, prescription and referral by the treating physician. We do not accept self-enrollment by patients or families without a physician referral. We are not the service provider for every PAP/EAP program in the market and cannot guarantee that support is available in all cases.

Three support instruments

DONATION

Donation program

Free medicine issued by therapy stage (e.g. buy X get Y), typical for long courses of high-cost self-pay medicines. Two-stage pack QR redemption allows one use per pack.

For: high-cost, long-course products

CO-PAY

Co-payment support

Tiered subsidy of part of the drug cost by means test or therapy stage, bringing the patient's out-of-pocket into an affordable range. Amounts are adjudicated automatically by the rule engine.

For: partially reimbursed items, low-income patients

INSTALLMENT

Installment payment

Spread a large one-off drug cost into monthly payments, with MediPASS binding the plan, settling and reconciling. The total doesn't change — the cash flow does.

For: large one-off self-pay courses

From referral to dispensing

Physician referral

Assessment, prescription and referral in clinic

Eligibility review

Rule-engine adjudication, exceptions to human review

Pharmacy dispensing

QR redemption, GDP-traceable distribution

Refill and re-check
