Contractors that offer Co-Pay AssistanceHave you thought about how much you could

save if co-pay assistance programs were used?

Co-Pay assistance programs are available from the major drug companies to pay the co-pays for ARVs as well as other drugs.

An analysis of all co-pay assistance provided in three Regions for ARVs ONLY was conducted for one month.

The results were amazing!

A Sample taken from Region AHad 277 co-pays for ARVs Encompassed several months from one area

but only one month from other areasThe total dollar amount for the copays was

$16,464If Region A had used co-pay assistance

programs, they would have had to pay $2,667Region A would have saved $13,797.

A subset of Region BHad 136 co-pays for ARVs in the month of

JulyThe total co-pay amount that was paid was

$9,067If the subset of Region B used co-payment

assistance programs (one provider already does) they would have paid $2,634.

The subset of region B would have saved $6,433.

A Sample from Region CHad 49 co-pays for ARVs for a month chosen

at randomThey paid $5,146 in co-pay assistanceIf they used co-pay assistance programs they
