Patient Assistance Medication Program
The SHS Referral Coordinator will use the information provided on the "Information and Release Form - Patient Assistance Program Medications" to initiate your application for free medications through a pharmaceutical company’s Patient Assistance Program. If the SHS Referral Coordinator needs further information, they will contact you at your sfsu.edu email which provides a secure link to their message in Confidential Communicator.*
*IMPORTANT: All email communication will be sent to your sfsu.edu address with the subject line reading “Student Health Service – important message.” This email will provide you the link to Confidential Communicator where you will need to log in with a user name and password to access the message. For more information on Confidential Communicator and the process of logging in please see http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/Clinic_Services/Confidential_Communicator.
When your application is sent to the Pharmaceutical Company, you will receive an email with the Confidential Communicator link to your secure message. This message will advise you that your medications are to be mailed directly to the address you have listed above or that they will be delivered to the SHS (will depend on the pharmaceutical company).
If your medications are received by the Student Health Service, you will receive an email with the Confidential Communicator link to advise you when and how to pick them up.
REFILLS: Read the information that is sent with your medications. It will instruct you how and when to request refills. Requesting refills of your medications is YOUR responsibility. SHS will not send you any other reminders. If you do not request the medications at least 3-4 weeks before your medication is due to run out, you may not receive them in time and will be financially responsible for refills.
