PatientAssistance.com has teamed with Google Health to help consumers search for drug payment assistance programs for which they are eligible.

The searches are based on the medications a consumer has in their Google Health personal health record. Baton Rouge, La.-based Patient Assistance.com is a not-for-profit organization that provides information on thousands of prescription drug payment assistance programs.

Consumers with a Google Health account can click on "Explore Online Health Services" in the left column of the home page, scroll down and click "Patient Assistance," and then click the "Link to Profile" button. This connects the prescription data in their account to the search programs at PatientAssistance.com.

Other available tools enable consumers to get local drug pricing information, track assistance programs in which they're enrolled and receive reminders when they need to resubmit enrollment forms.

More information is available at google.com/health and patientassisance.com.
