At RemediChain, the patients are our “why.” Many of the medications we rescue cost thousands of dollars per month – even with health insurance. Yet going without, for many patients, could mean disease progression or even death.
RemediChain sees both sides. We’re not just a middleman who collects medications and passes them on to a vague network of “partners” to reach patients. That means we work quickly – including the ability to have medications sent out as soon as the same day we receive a prescription – all to the benefit of the people who need us most. That’s Medication Rescue®.

A Picture of Our Patients – 2020-2026
When considering patients who need assistance to access necessary medications, it’s common to think of those who are uninsured. But a review of RemediChain’s patient registration data from 2020 through early 2026 reveals a clear, consistent demographic profile: the majority of recipients are insured, moderate-income households. They tend to be underinsured, rather than uninsured.
Note: This table represents all patients who registered and requested medication. Numbers may not match the number of dispensed medications in any given year.
Key Observations
- More than 85% of patients who request assistance are insured.
- Patients’ average income consistently reflects lower to moderate-income households.
- Household sizes smaller than two indicate financial vulnerability, particularly among elderly and single-adult households.
- Patient registrations – an indicator of both need and the ongoing growth of the medication rescue program – have grown dramatically, increasing from 34 in 2020 to 863 in 2025.
