What
is Rx Partnership (RxP)?
RxP is an innovative public/private partnership to increase access
to free prescription medications for Virginia's eligible uninsured.
What does RxP do?
RxP solicits free medications in bulk from pharmaceutical companies
and arranges for their distribution directly to nonprofit, licensed
affiliate pharmacies which it credentials and monitors. These pharmacies
are typically operated by free clinics and community health centers.
How does RxP assure that the free medications go to eligible patients?
To be credentialed, each affiliate must demonstrate that it utilizes
a specific intake process to determine income eligibility of less
than 200% of poverty level. Periodic site reviews, annual reporting,
and training sessions are conducted to confirm compliance.
How is RxP funded?
RxP has been designed as a public-private partnership. The organization
receives annual financial support from the Virginia General Assembly
to support RxP operations and private funds come from foundations,
corporations, trade associations, and Affiliate fees. |
