--------

The research-based pharmaceutical industry has had a long-standing tradition of providing prescription medicines free of charge to physicians whose patients might not otherwise have access to necessary medicines.

To make it easier for physicians to identify the growing number of programs available for needy patients, member companies of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) created this directory. It lists company programs that provide drugs to physicians whose patients could not otherwise afford them...

 

IsThat Emotionally "needy" or financially "needy"?

Nevermind, I qualify on both accounts. (snicker)

Is there a lot of paper work involved when
applying for this assistance? I ask because I
am afraid of causing my pdoc too much inconven-
ience. In general, how often does one have to
reapply for this assistance?
