Worried About Affording Your Medicine? MAT is Here to Help.
You have enough to worry about right now. Figuring out how to pay for your prescriptions shouldn’t be another stressor. For decades, PhRMA has been committed to advocating for policies that help patients access the medicines they need, but today, America’s biopharmaceutical companies are individually expanding their programs to help more patients during these uncertain times. MAT, the Medicine Assistance Tool, matches patients like you with resources and cost-sharing programs that may help lower your out-of-pocket costs, whether or not you have insurance.
PhRMA’s Medicine Assistance Tool (MAT) is a search engine designed to help patients, caregivers and health care providers learn more about the resources available through the various biopharmaceutical industry programs. MAT is not its own patient assistance program, but rather a search engine for many of the patient assistance resources that the biopharmaceutical industry offers.

I just tried to see if I could get assistance so I could try Nucynta (I’m on tramadol now). The manufacturer has a program for poor folk. Interestingly, suddenly this year (after 9 years of being well below the Fed Poverty Line, the increase in my disability is JUST enough to put me over the FPL…by 1.01%. Hmmm…
Of course, I’m screwed now for the manufacturer’s help thing.
I don’t believe large groups are competent enough to pull off conspiracies, but a lot of things are based on the FPL, & it would be pretty easy for the Feds to make sure a whole lotta people suddenly just got bumped a few bucks year to knock them out of the running for those things.
