Virginia Health Care Foundation

The Pharmacy Connection (TPC), is a proprietary web-based software program created by VHCF that helps provide prescription medications to chronically ill, uninsured individuals throughout Virginia and other states.

TPC is more than just software — it is an indispensable tool for many free clinics, community health centers, hospitals, medical practices and other social service and community based agencies which rely on it to help their patients.

All of the major classes of medication are included, covering chronic diseases ranging from diabetes to hypertension, clinical depression to asthma and more. Since its 1997 launch, TPC has generated more than $12.7 billion in free medications for more than 384,000 sick, uninsured Virginians via more than 5.7 million prescriptions.

TPC makes it faster for health care providers to enroll their patients in pharmaceutical companies’ Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs), allowing them to:

• Save staff time. Save approximately 20 minutes per PAP application
• Find assistance faster. Instantly determine uninsured patient’s eligibility for over 380 PAPs
• Demonstrate impact. Access a broad range of reports for leadership, funders and other stakeholders
• Cut the paperwork. Streamline PAP application forms by auto-populating patient data
• Monitor application status. View and track the status of all applications
• Stay ahead of renewals. Get reminders when it’s time for a patient to refill medication and reapply to the PAP
