Their role is to promote medication adherence and improve health outcomes by guiding patients through the application process. This includes reviewing financial information, verifying insurance coverage, and identifying gaps in access to prescribed medications. Medications are provided by pharmaceutical manufacturers and shipped either directly to the patient's home or to the MAP office for distribution.

During the 2024-2025 grant cycle, the MAP supported 824 patients, facilitating the fulfillment of 2,598 prescriptions with an estimated average wholesale value of $7.3 million.
