One in four people in Virginia cannot afford the medication they need to stay healthy.
Due to rising insurance costs and higher deductibles, access to medication is a critical issue.
From a study by the Virginia Health Care Foundation, as many as 8.2% of people in the Tidewater region (total population 1.8 million) are living without health insurance, making it one of the top four regions of uninsured people in Virginia.
Because of our innovative model, RxP can cut the cost of medication for our partner free clinics up to 80%, stretching clinic dollars and enabling them to serve more patients with limited resources.
RxP partner clinics in the region include:
The Healthcare Safety Net
Free and charitable clinics provide vital healthcare to people who cannot afford private health insurance. They play a critical role in the region, providing quality care with limited resources.
Rx Partnership provides the medications for their patients so that the clinics can use their resources on other priorities such as staff, education, and other organizational needs.
As changes to Medicaid go into effect, the need for the services of the free clinics will increase.
