340B Drug Discount Program

This program mandates drug manufacturers to offer outpatient drugs to eligible Premier patients at significantly reduced prices, thereby enabling us to extend our resources and assist more individuals. To participate, prescriptions must be filled at a Premier pharmacy or affiliated contracted pharmacies.

Hospital Partnerships

Our clinical team collaborates with hospitals to ensure continued care at Premier following a patient’s discharge from the hospital. This includes scheduling follow-up appointments and coordinating care plans.

Medication Assistance Program (MAP)

This initiative enhances access to prescription drug services for uninsured and medically needy residents with chronic conditions. A nominal application fee applies, and eligible patients receive prescriptions at no charge.

Patient Care Coordination

Available at all primary care sites, this program assists patients with chronic conditions in managing their health effectively. Services include:

  • Pre-visit planning and follow-up appointments
  • One-on-one health education
  • Communication facilitation among patients, family members, caregivers, and healthcare providers

Reach Out and Read (ROR)

Premier proudly participates in Reach Out and Read®, a pediatric outreach program that fosters early literacy. The program distributes new books to children (from birth through age 5) and offers guidance to parents and caregivers about the importance of reading aloud during early childhood.
