[The Access Project]



The Access Project

The Access Project is a national counseling, referral, education and advocacy program of The Network. We assist people currently covered by or in need of:

  • Medicare
  • ADAP
  • private insurance
  • Medicare Part D
  • Medicaid
  • Some insurance
  • No insurance

We also assist people to access Patient Assistance Programs. Contact us for help.

Our national toll-free phone number is 1-800-734-7104 , but using the Request Assistance Form gets you the fastest up to the minute information and personalized counseling and advice.


Using The Access Project

If you need help and have no idea where to start E-mail or call us with your questions about any treatment, coverage or care and we will direct you to the programs and other resources that might help you pay for what you need. We search for the assistance you need through many programs such as Medicaid, Medicare Part D, ADAP in your state, a pharmaceutical industry sponsored patient assistance program, an expanded access program (EAP), private insurance, or even a clinical trial. You can also call us toll-free at 1-800-734-7104 .

If you would rather call us instead of contacting us by e-mail, we still need to know what state and town or city you are living in, a phone number where and when we can call you back at, the condition(s) for which you are looking for treatment or care, names of drugs you need, and some medical history. We maintain very strict confidentiality for all of our members (also called clients)

Where do I Find?

Use the Request Assistance Form on any page of this website. That happens all throughout The Access Project. That means if you click The Access Project at the top of any page, or the name of a state or a drug or a person, you will link to that piece of information. With people's names, selecting with the mouse brings up the program that you use to send e-mail.


Are you stuck?

Just call us at 1-800-734-7104 and ask for The Access Project. You can leave a message with your call back information. Leave your e-mail address if you can. We assist people in any state as well as Puerto Rico and DC, of course. If you live anywhere in New York City give us your zip code of where you live and ask for a Case Manager, even if you just got tested or don't have a doctor or know anything about what to do.


Help us out

Please contact us by e-mail if you can when using our website to let us know the info you saw was current and useful. If you see that any info we have posted is out of date, let us know. We receive support from foundations, individuals and corporations, but The Access Project is staffed primarily by volunteers. Providing feedback and updates on the information on our website is a welcome way you can be an Access Project volunteer as well.
