For some people, in addition to the challenges of coping with pain and finding good medical treatment, is the problem of paying for treatment.

Insurance obviously helps, but for some, even the co-payment they must make is a financial obstacle.

Now there’s an answer for patients with pain!

A new program called the Patient Advocate Foundation’s Co-Pay Relief Program (CPR) launched this past February.  This program helps patients who qualify financially and medically with their prescription co-pays.  CPR’s goals are to:

• ensure access to medical care
• help patients maintain employment
• help patients preserve financial stability

This is good news for patients who need a bit of financial help, and will hopefully let patients take advantage of medical care that will help their pain.
