WE DRIVE POSITIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES

Among adults who currently take a prescription drug, 24% report difficulty affording their medication. Other adults may be prescribed a medication by their doctor, but may never fill that prescription because of the high cost. Focus’ Prescription Optimization Program (POP) is the solution.

DESIGNED WITH YOU IN MIND

POP is designed to assist patients with obtaining high cost medications that they may have trouble affording.

POP delivers savings in three ways: Patient Assistance Program, Coupons and Copay Cards, and International Sourcing.

Patient Assistance Program

Prescription assistance that is offered by pharmaceutical companies to provide free or discounted medications to people who cannot afford them.

Coupons and Copay Cards

Referred to as copay savings programs, copay coupons or copay assistance cards, these are manufacturer copay cards provided by the pharmaceutical companies to help patients afford expensive medications by reducing the out-of-pocket costs.

International Sourcing

We direct patients to a trusted organization that can supply the medication from an international pharmacy at a significantly discounted rate to the plan and FREE to the patient. International pharmacies secure a 90-day prescription supply from the patient’s doctor and ships the medication to the patient; offering a tremendous cost savings opportunity to the plan and no cost to the patient.

Don’t take our word for it, here’s what our patients are saying…

“My migraines were getting worse. My doctor had already prescribed Aimovig but I wouldn’t have the pharmacy fill the medication because of cost. My co-worker told me about POP, so I called. Within minutes I had an application sent to my email. I completed the application and sent it back. The program took care of everything, all I had to do was wait. In about 3 weeks my application was approved, and the medication arrived at my home. I didn’t have to drive to the pharmacy. Win Win.”

“POP found copay assistance for my Humira and they also called me each month to ensure I received the medication at the right time with the correct amount.”

“I had the application for patient assistance the same day along with instructions on what paperwork is needed.”

“Our doctor said Trulicity would help the most, but I panicked when I filled it. Our copay was much higher than we can afford. I called the POP team and they emailed a card that brought my copay to $0.”

“My son has Type 1 diabetes. When my husband changed jobs the copay on Novolog tripled in price. I didn’t know what we were going to do. I called the POP team and they understood my dilemma. They advised that if we purchase the Novolog internationally our copay will be $0. I could feel my stress melting away. Within a few weeks the 90-day supply arrived.”

“The POP team found that I qualified for patient assistance with no copay. My medication was mailed directly to me. Everything from start to finish was 2 ½ weeks.”
