Patient assistance refers to programs and services, often run by pharmaceutical companies, nonprofits, or hospitals, that help patients afford medications and medical care they otherwise could not access. Case managers and pharmacy staff commonly help patients apply for these programs, which can include free or discounted drugs, copay support, or financial aid.
