PAP 101

(Patient Assistance Program)

Many mental health issues are caused by chemical imbalances within the human body. To re-establish the correct balance, medications are commonly used; often in conjunction with other therapies.

However, if your doctor prescribes medication and you don’t have insurance you may find you need assistance to afford your medications. A number of pharmaceutical companies have Patient Assistance Programs (PAP) that provide their brand name medications reduced or free of cost.
