Sign Your Name Now: Help Florida Patients and Reduce Barriers to Healthcare
In Florida, many patients are facing the impossible choice of deciding between paying for groceries or affording lifesaving prescriptions.
For patients with complex diseases, innovative treatments, including provider-administered therapy, can help them live healthy, productive lives. However, high costs, harmful insurance practices, and other barriers are keeping many from getting the care they need. For example, some health insurance companies have recently made it harder to access treatments by enacting new programs that prevent patients from counting financial assistance toward their annual out-of-pocket maximum, leaving many patients with unbearably high medical bills and putting some treatments out of reach completely.
Join the Infusion Access Foundation today to reduce barriers to healthcare and help Floridians access lifesaving treatment and medicines.
Dear [Legislator Name],
Florida patients across the state are facing high out-of-pocket costs for the prescription drugs and medications they need to live full, healthy lives and many rely on medical financial assistance to afford the care they need. Recently, some health insurance companies have made it harder to afford innovative treatments by enacting copay accumulator adjustment programs – new programs that prevent patients from counting financial assistance received from other sources toward their annual out-of-pocket maximum, leaving many patients with unbearably high medical bills.
That would be like if my bank accepted payments on my mortgage from my own pocketbook and from money I borrowed from a family member, but only applied the money from my pocketbook towards the bank note. Health insurance companies should apply any payment towards a patient's deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. Copay accumulator adjustment programs must stop.
As your constituent, I urge you to put patients first and protect their access to life-saving treatments and medications.
Thank you,
