Yes, there are patient assistance programs available for Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol. These programs aim to help eligible patients manage the cost of their prescription medications.

Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a statin medication manufactured by Pfizer. While Pfizer's direct patient assistance program, the Pfizer RxPathways Patient Assistance Program, does not cover Lipitor [1], there are other resources available for patients seeking financial assistance with Lipitor.

One such resource is the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) [2]. The PPA is a clearinghouse that helps connect patients with public and private patient assistance programs, including those for Lipitor. Patients can visit the PPA's website and use their search tool to find programs that may help cover the cost of Lipitor.

Additionally, state-specific programs and organizations may offer assistance for Lipitor. For example, the Pennsylvania Patient Assistance Program (PennPAP) [3] helps eligible residents of Pennsylvania access prescription medications, including Lipitor, at reduced costs or for free. Eligibility criteria and application processes vary by program, so patients are encouraged to explore all available options.

In summary, while Pfizer's direct patient assistance program does not cover Lipitor, resources such as the Partnership for Prescription Assistance and state-specific programs can help eligible patients manage the cost of this medication.
