The Power of Pain Foundation (POPF) supports Fail First Hurts initiative. 
The Power of Pain Foundation (POPF) is proud to support the Fail First Hurts initiative. Fail First legislation will prohibit health insurers from requiring a patient to try and fail medications before allowing the patient to have the medication prescribed by their doctor. The POPF adamantly believes that applying step therapy protocols rigidly to a pain patient is not in the patient’s best interest and simply creates undue challenges to pain patients. more info
