Partnership for Part D Access Coalition
Epilepsy Alliance America is proud to have joined the Partnership for Part D Access Coalition.
The Partnership for Part D Access is dedicated to providing opportunities to bring awareness to the importance of Medicare's Six Protected Classes and educate patients, providers, and communities about ways to work together to preserve this important patient access policy.
The Six Protected Classes Policy ensures that all or substantially all medications in certain therapeutic areas are covered by Part D plans. Congress created this policy to protect Medicare beneficiaries with some of the most serious health conditions —mental health challenges, cancer, HIV, epilepsy, and those at risk of organ rejection. Congress has repeatedly reaffirmed bipartisan support for the six protected classes.
