Technology that transforms the patient access workflow
Whether or not patients say it, there’s a good chance they’re worried about affording the care they need. Fortunately, there’s also a good chance they qualify for financial assistance and other access services—and with AssistPoint®, healthcare provider organizations can make the most of these resources for their patients and their organization.
AssistPoint is a software platform that helps healthcare provider organizations proactively identify and manage financial assistance and other access services for eligible patients. Think of it as a one-stop shop for all patient access needs.

Quickly apply and enroll eligible patients into individual assistance opportunities.

Actively monitor award fulfillment to ensure utilization and adherence.

Stay on top of all activities related to patient assistance within your organization via a comprehensive suite of reports—available real time.
Streamline the process for managing patient access
AssistPoint seamlessly integrates with practice management systems and can be integrated with electronic health records, pharmacy management systems, and patient support programs offered by life science companies and charitable foundations. This connectivity minimizes cumbersome manual processes and allows healthcare provider organizations to work within an integrated environment to easily and efficiently search for patient assistance opportunities, enroll eligible patients, and manage the fulfillment of services.
For digitally integrated patient support programs, enrollment is completed through our standardized form that is automatically prepopulated with patient demographic information from the practice management system. AssistPoint also enables tracking of financial award activity and offers a variety of reports to analyze patient assistance data—all within a single platform.
Finding assistance programs for our patients takes 10 seconds with AssistPoint, as opposed to 2 hours with our old, reactive approach.

Feature highlights
Search Wizard: intelligently engineered to quickly identify assistance for all patients
After automatically pulling patient demographic information, diagnoses, and insurance details from the practice management system, AssistPoint searches thousands of programs to identify all assistance opportunities that may be available for a patient. The results are presented in a simple, yet detailed color-coded format for users to quickly act upon.
Digital Integration: two-way connectivity matters
For our integrated life science and foundation partners, a two-way, secure information exchange (AP Connect®) is created between their patient support programs and AssistPoint, streamlining the application, enrollment, and fulfillment processes. All integrated programs use our standardized digital enrollment form, which is automatically prepopulated with demographic information from the practice management system, eliminating the need for patients to fill out multiple repetitive forms and connecting them to available assistance faster. Furthermore, with digital integration, program communication delays are reduced, award approval notifications are sped up, and healthcare providers can easily provide patients with accurate, up-to-date award balances.
Assistance Watchlist: fund status alerts within 5 minutes
When funds may not be available, patients can be put on the Assistance Watchlist, which will trigger an alert when funds become available. Fund status alerts are sent within 5 minutes of a fund opening up, which saves precious time and enables our users to rapidly secure assistance for their patients.
