Patients across Pennsylvania, particularly those living with chronic and complex conditions, rely on regular treatments and medications to manage their symptoms, stay healthy, and live fulfilling lives. However, high costs at the pharmacy counter, harmful insurance practices, and other barriers to care are putting critical treatments out of reach for patients.
Help support Pennsylvania patients. Join us to reduce barriers to care that patients face.
Many Pennsylvania patients rely on financial copay assistance to afford critical treatment. However, health insurance companies are increasingly implementing harmful policies called copay accumulator programs, which block any copay assistance from counting toward a patient's annual deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. For many Pennsylvania patients who rely on high-cost treatments, financial assistance is the only way to afford the out-of-pocket costs needed to stay healthy.
Send a message to your Pennsylvania legislators today and urge them to alleviate health care affordability challenges for Pennsylvania patients.
To whom it may concern:
As your constituent, I urge you to support policies that will lower out-of-pocket health care costs for Pennsylvania patients.
Access to critical health care is being blocked for Pennsylvania patients as a result of burdensome insurance barriers. Many patients across Pennsylvania, particularly those living with chronic or complex conditions, rely on copay assistance to afford critical treatments. Yet, insurance companies are increasingly implementing harmful copay accumulator programs that block any financial copay assistance from counting toward a patient's annual deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
Copay accumulator programs are leading to increased costs at the pharmacy counter for Pennsylvania residents. Over 99% of copay assistance programs are used for conditions with no generic treatment equivalent. Without action from lawmakers, patients in Pennsylvania will continue to lose out on the treatments they need to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
Please support policies that protect patients by ensuring all copay assistance counts towards a patient's deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. Patients across Pennsylvania are counting on you to address unnecessary barriers to health care.
