    Hello everyone,

    Mended Hearts would like to hear from you on the topic of out-of-pocket prescription costs and patient assistance. this will help our partner organization in tailoring their services to meet the needs of patients. Would you please take a few minutes to complete the survey. The more responses the better for our organizations. You can click this link to complete: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/patientassistancesurvey

     
    Here is a little information about our two organizations and why this survey is important. 

    • The Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation is hosting a survey about patient assistance.  The PAN Foundation is a national nonprofit organization that helps people living with life-threatening, chronic and rare diseases pay for the out-of-pocket costs of their prescription medications. 
    • Mended Hearts has been working with PAN for some time to provide patients with education and support about heart disease.
    • PAN is interested in learning more about the financial assistance patients may need to cover the out-of-pocket costs for their medications as well as the challenges patients face when looking for financial assistance. 
    • The survey includes standard consenting language at the start. 
    • Individual responses will be anonymous.  All responses will be combined and analyzed together.  
    • The survey should only take about 5 minutes.

    I took the survey, but I was also recently interviewed by our local
    newspaper The State, both in print and on-line video, about a proposal
    to tax?? prescription drugs in South Carolina.?? I can give you all the
    details, if anyone is interested, but this was proposed for the next
    legislative session.
