Copay accumulator programs are increasingly embedded within insurance plans, creating significant financial hardship for patients. Copay accumulator programs allow payers to accept patients' financial assistance to access medications, but then do not apply these funds to the patients' deductible and out of pocket expenses. Many people face insurmountable costs to access needed medications, leading to greater health disparities and poor health outcomes. Learn more about copay accumulator programs from two patient advocates, Siri Vaeth and Brian Callanan.
NOTE: Since the filming of this podcast, California legislation, AB 874, referenced in the recording, has been stalled and will now be a two-year bill.
