Just Added: 10 New Treatment Options in TPC


TPC is continuously evolving with new PAPs, updated forms, revised eligibility requirements, and the latest FDA-approved medications. Check out new medications below. 

Breathe Hope Expands Ordering Flexibility

Global Links, a nonprofit based in Pittsburgh, PA, provides new and gently used pediatric and adult nebulizers through the Breathe Hope program. Each unit is carefully checked, cleaned, and packaged with new accessories.

In response to MAC feedback, now, health safety net organizations can request nebulizers, in quantities of 1, 3, 5 or a maximum of 30 per request. Each unit costs $15 to ship. Nebulizers can be ordered through TPC under the Supply Formulary or check out the request and waiver form here.

What to Know Now to Prepare for Federal Changes to 
Medicaid Coming in Late 2026/Early 2027

A new federal law passed in summer 2025, known as House Resolution 1 (HR1) or “the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” This new law requires states to change their Medicaid programs. Nothing is changing right away. Starting in late 2026/early 2027, some adults will have to meet new requirements to qualify for Medicaid.
