Possible Financial Assistance for Treatment /Drugs?

There is a long list of agencies given to offer financial assistance, some to underinsured patients and to uninsured patients.
http://www.mds-foundation.org/articl...cts-part-d.htm

My understanding from reading some of the material is that charitable organizations can offer financial assistance to Medicare Part D clients but under the new ruling, pharmaceutical companies can not because it could be considered kick-back. I don't know how accurate that information is or my interpretation but it can be found in the document at http://www.cdfund.org/pdf/CDF_PAguide.pdf
