MEDBANK lets you do what you do best: care for patients.  With our help, you and your staff can spend more time with your patients.  Chronic care medications, when taken as prescribed, lower medical costs for everyone and improve the quality of life and health of patients.

  • Patient provides proof of income and insurance information to MEDBANK to verify eligibility.
  • Patient must sign a consent/authorization form.
     
  • MEDBANK Program representative identifies Patient Assistance Programs for the patient, completes applications and where required obtains written prescriptions from physician - and patient and/or physician signatures.
  • Most pharmaceutical companies will ship a 90-day supply to the physician's office.
  • Patient notifies the MEDBANK Program representative when medications are received and the MEDBANK Program representative repeats applications.

Patient Application Requirements
