Why This Matters

The Help Ensure Lower Patient Copays Act helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients by allowing financial assistance to count towards their health insurance expenses. This means patients can get more help paying for their medical bills and prescriptions.

If you have health insurance, you could pay less out of pocket for your medical expenses with this new assistance.
