ACCESS TO MEDICATION PROGRAM
The Access to Medication Program (AMP) provides critically needed generic and brand medications to vulnerable Virginians at a wide range of health care facilities without a pharmacy across the Commonwealth.
By providing access to the most needed generics, Rx Partnership can help reduce facilities’ overall spend on medication, increase prescription pick-up rate for patients, and ultimately improve health outcomes for a population that cannot afford the rising cost for generics.
The AMP Program serves patients up to 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
