BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy has announced that its Pay it Forward program will be extended into 2016.

BioPlus, a nationwide leader in advanced specialty pharmacies, has teamed up with several nonprofit patient organizations and makes a donation for every referred prescription it receives at each of its specialty pharmacies.

To date, the Pay it Forward program has donated $135,949 to many foundations. In 2015, BioPlus assisted needy patients obtain a total of almost $25 million, coming in the form of grants, co-pays and donations. The monetary aid goes toward helping patients with high co-pays and deductibles.

Many of the patients helped by the program are facing complex illnesses and are unable to afford medications essential to treating their ailments. BioPlus also helps patients by processing paperwork, as well as renewing grants when the time comes to avoid any interruptions of the patients’ treatments.

The Pay it Forward program works closely with BioPlus’ 2-Hour Patient Acceptance Guarantee, which makes sure patients see a quick turnaround time from referral to acceptance.
