Navigating Foundation & Charitable Patient Assistance Programs (CPAP) Support for Specialty Medication Patients


Stay Ahead: Medicare Part D Redesign – 2026 Updates & What 2025 Taught Us

📅 Date: Wednesday, May 13th, 2026
⏰ Time: 12:00-1:00 PM ET
💻 Platform: Zoom

The National Association of Medication Access & Patient Advocacy (NAMAPA) will host a webinar sponsored by Johnson & Johnson for professionals who support patient access, navigation, reimbursement, and advocacy.

Financial barriers remain one of the most common reasons patients delay or abandon specialty therapies. For medication access teams, navigating foundation funding and charitable patient assistance programs has become an essential part of helping patients start and stay on treatment, particularly in today’s environment where funding availability is more limited, less predictable, and increasingly complex to navigate.

Join NAMAPA for a virtual roundtable designed for medication access coordinators, reimbursement specialists, pharmacy teams, and patient navigation professionals who support patients navigating affordability barriers to specialty medications.

During this session, healthcare professionals working directly in medication access roles will share real-world experiences related to identifying foundation support opportunities, coordinating charitable patient assistance programs, and navigating the day-to-day challenges that arise as funding availability shifts, eligibility criteria evolve, and financial assistance is not always available now when patients need it most.

Through a moderated discussion and shared perspectives from professionals working closest to the patient journey, this program will highlight practical strategies healthcare teams are using to support patients facing financial barriers to treatment, including how they adapt workflows, prioritize patient needs, and make real-time decisions in a more constrained and complex funding environment.

What you'll learn:

  • Overview of Foundation and Charitable Patient Assistance Programs (CPAP) available to support specialty medication patients

  • Common challenges healthcare teams encounter when identifying and securing financial assistance

  • Practical strategies for coordinating foundation support within medication access workflows

  • Real-world insights from professionals helping patients navigate affordability challenges
