The Pharmacy Connection (TPC) is a web-based software developed by the Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF) that provides access to free brandname medications through the pharmaceutical companies Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs), low-cost generic medications through Rx Outreach, and other free and discount generic programs. TPC also includes programs for free or deeply discounted C-PAP equipment, nebulizers, eyeglasses, and other supplies.
TPC was designed by Medication Assistance Caseworkers (MACs) for Medication Assistance Caseworkers. It is HIPAA compliant and streamlines everything from determining patient eligibility to ordering, tracking and reporting for more than 350 prescription assistance programs. In Virginia alone, TPC has generated more than $8 billion in free and low-cost generic medications for more than 360,866 individuals since it was first developed in 1997.
TPC is currently used by 261 organizations (110 in Virginia and 151 in 14 other states). Of those, 29 are free clinics in Virginia and 56 are free clinics in other states.
