Johnson and Johnson patient assistance programs.
Patients who lack health insurance and/or have a limited income can qualify for a patient assistance program offered by Johnson and Johnson. While household income and insurance coverage are two of the main criteria to determine if you are qualified, many other factors may also be considered. A full review of the indfividuals’s financial condition will take place when a patient applies to the Johnson and Johnson prescription drug programs.
Examples of some of the other criteria that will be reviewed to determine program eligibility include the medication you are taking, the applicants family size, and other special circumstances. J&J will also need to make the prescription that the patient needs as well, otherwise they will not be able to help. Almost one million doses of medications are being distributed each and every year.
