In June 2005, Rx for West Virginia joined the Partnership for Prescription Assistance as the state chapter of the PPA and is now known as the Partnership for Prescription Assistance of West Virginia. In just seven months since joining the PPA and with the support of more than 15 local organizations, more than 44,000 West Virginians have been matched to a patient assistance program that likely meets their needs, and more than one million patients nationally have been matched.

A recent report on the Partnership for Prescription Assistance of West Virginia’s successes, challenges and opportunities in its first seven months of operation includes:
  • Details on West Virginia’s operational statistics;

  • National program satisfaction and fulfillment results;

  • Data from national third-party surveys of patients who have used the program and the expertise of thought leaders in the health care sector; and,

  • Information on challenges with enrollment, lessons learned and ongoing system improvements.
