Partnershipopportunities!
• We are always accepting more members of our community who
would benefit from our services
• We are looking for more private practice specialists who would be
willing to donate some time to our patients to have more local
referrals.
• Volunteering! We have a robust volunteer program and would
love to have new members. Positions run from administration, to
medical, to a food bank.

35. Target Population
• Low-income, uninsured patients living at 250%
of FPL and below
• Age 19 – 64
• Patients with chronic conditions, such as
diabetes, hypertension and COPD/asthma
• Reaching approximately 1,000 patients
• Patients are served by the Lloyd F. Moss Free
Clinic
36. Planned Activities
RxP’s AMP Program is committed to developing an
innovative and effective process for providing
important generic medications at a reasonable
cost to clinics, and thereby patients, who require
these medications for the treatment of chronic
conditions, but could not otherwise afford them.
Activities:
• Access donated generic medications – supplement
with low-cost purchases as needed
• On a weekly basis, Moss fills prescriptions for their
patients and also fills and ships medications to clinics
without a pharmacy
37. Expected Outcomes
1. The Lloyd F. Moss Free Clinic (and 3-10 affiliate clinics
enrolled in the AMP program) will have access to highly
subsidized generic medications through AMP, enabling them
to reduce medication costs and devote more resources to
direct patient care.
2. Approximately 1,000 patients served by the Lloyd F. Moss
Free Clinic with chronic conditions will receive 4,800 generic
prescriptions that will allow them to manage their conditions
and enable them to maintain employment, support their
families and contribute to the community.
3. Lloyd F. Moss Free Clinic, as well as NOVA ScriptsCentral Inc.,
will be able to access bulk generic medications periodically
from donors that also support AMP with donated medication.
4. RxP will influence the pharmaceutical field at large by
piloting AMP, a sustainable and replicable model for generic
medication access.
38. How others can help?
Partnership opportunities!
• Help AMP identify facilities serving low-income,
uninsured patients that could benefit from AMP
(particularly additional clinic types – beyond Free Clinics)
• Share information on medication access
challenges in the region your organization is
aware of – what medications are too expensive
for patients?
39. Questions for PHF?
• How can we best keep PHF updated on progress
throughout year (outside of formal reports)
without being overwhelming?
• During the grant year we will test and refine our
innovative approach and hope to learn how to
create greater efficiency that can be replicated.
• In FY16, RxP helped over 10,000 patients across the
state access 50,692 brand prescriptions – we hope
to ultimately see similar success providing patients
with generic medication!
