Patient assistance program software for ophthalmology practices
Retina practices apply to manufacturer assistance programs for office-administered anti-VEGF therapy on behalf of patients who are uninsured or underinsured. AlgoMeds fills the manufacturer enrollment form from the practice record, collects the patient signature by text message, and tracks the application through submission and decision.
What makes patient assistance different in ophthalmology
- Therapy is administered in the office on a recurring injection schedule, so assistance runs against a repeating calendar rather than a one-time fill.
- Programs for office-administered products often supply replacement product to the practice rather than shipping to the patient.
- Patients skew older and are frequently accompanied by a caregiver acting on their behalf.
- Missing an injection interval has direct visual consequences, which makes lapse prevention clinical rather than administrative.

What changes for a ophthalmology practice
Three common workflow challenges in this specialty, and how the platform addresses each one.
A prescriber working alone can currently use the solo-prescriber tier free. Practice pricing is per provider, per month.
The caregiver is often the one who signs
A verified legal representative has a defined role in the form rather than an informal workaround.
Injection schedules are unforgiving
Renewals open ahead of expiry and status is visible through to decision.
Product tracking sits with the practice
Applications for office-administered products are tracked to delivery, with acceptance or denial proof attached to the record.
Ophthalmology patient assistance: frequently asked questions
Which ophthalmology patient assistance programs does AlgoMeds cover?
This directory documents 1 ophthalmology program: Eylea. The full catalog is broader, 220 program form templates across 14 manufacturer program families.
Do we still do the work, or does AlgoMeds?
Your practice owns the clinical decisions, the patient relationship and the prescriber signature. AlgoMeds resolves the correct current form, fills it from your records, runs the patient hand-off, assembles the delivery packet and tracks the application. Our operations team handles returned-document matching so you do not deal with it program by program.
Will this work with our EHR?
AlgoMeds imports supported patient-list exports without requiring a live EHR interface. Export formats differ, so we verify your file during a demo, preview rows before import, and flag likely duplicates. Ask us about a custom integration if your workflow needs one.
Is AlgoMeds HIPAA compliant, and will you sign a BAA?
AlgoMeds is built on a HIPAA-aligned architecture. Tenant boundaries are enforced at the database layer, a BAA is available, and access is audited. Ask for current security evidence during diligence.
