Service Description

The Medication Assistance Program (MAP) provides access to free prescription drugs available through pharmaceutical manufacturers to patients who cannot afford them as a safety net for uninsured, low-income individuals in the state.

 
This service, currently offered through 122 sites in rural health centers, federally qualified health centers and community and faith based organizations, uses special software called Medication Access and Review Program (MARP). MARP was created in partnership through private foundations and supported by ORHCC. This software matches patients' eligibility with available free medications. ORHCC provides training and technical support to users of this software, as well as assisting prescription assistance coordinators in each site to develop best practices in their medication assistance programs.
