Pharmaceutical Assistance Program
Pharmaceutical Assistance Program
Since 1988, we have helped thousands of Beaver County residents. The Pharmaceutical Assistance Program is designed to assist Beaver County residents who are without prescription coverage. We help them acquire their medication by facilitating the paperwork between the client, the prescribing physician and the pharmaceutical company who manufacturers that particular medication. We work with over 100 pharmaceutical firms and abide by eligibility guidelines. We are proud to say that there is no fee for this service.
