About CPR
Patient Advocate Foundation's Co-Pay Relief (CPR) program provides co-payment assistance to insured Americans who financially and medically qualify.
What is the Co-Pay Relief Program?
PAF Co-Pay Relief (CPR) provides direct financial assistance to qualified patients, assisting them with prescription drug co-payments their insurance requires. The program offers personal service to all patients through the use of CPR call counselors.
