Little Bit of Nonsense - Show 45 - Helping patients get prescription coverage

Healthcare can be confusing, and difficult to research. This show, I discuss the Patient Navigator Program from Sen. Mendez of New Jersey designed to help people understand the Medicare Part D benefit. I also talk about the new Patient Assistance Now website offered by the Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation that includes patient assistance programs helping people get access to pharmaceuticals from Novartis. The site also offers a wide variety of clinical trial information from Novartis and other pharmaceutical companies.
