Comprehensive Health Information for Patients - easy to understand

FINANCIAL HELP TO PAY FOR MEDICATIONS

  • Co-pay assistance programs and foundations, such as the LLS Co-pay Assistance Program, help pay costs for prescription drug insurance plan premiums or co-pay obligations for specific diseases. LLS also provides information about other co-pay assistance programs. Call (877) LLS-COPAY (877-557-2672).
  • Patient assistance or prescription assistance programs, sponsored by major pharmaceutical manufacturers, provide free or reduced-cost drugs if you can't afford them. Visit RxAssist for a directory of patient prescription assistance programs and information on obtaining affordable or free drugs.
  • Prescription savings programs, such as Together Rx Access, often offer a free prescription savings card if you're not eligible for Medicare, don't have prescription drug coverage and meet certain household income levels. Most cardholders save between 25 and 40 percent on more than 300 brand-name prescription products.
  • State programs such as the National Association of Counties provide ways to cut drug costs.
  • Clinical trials for promising cancer drug therapies may offer free or reduced cost prescriptions. Check with your healthcare provider, insurance representative or study contact. Coverage varies significantly depending on the health plan and clinical trial. You may be able to gain access to investigational drugs through "Expanded Access" or "Special Exception/Compassionate Exemption" programs, sometimes offered by drug companies.
  • The Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) brings pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other healthcare providers and patient advocacy and community groups together to help eligible patients who don't have prescription drug coverage get their medicines for little or no cost. The partnership offers access to many public and private patient assistance programs, including programs offered by pharmaceutical companies.
  • NeedyMeds is a central source of information for people who can't afford medicine or other healthcare expenses. Programs such as assistance for specific diseases and conditions, application assistance, state-sponsored programs and Medicaid sites are available.
  • PhRMA (Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America) maintains a directory of patient assistance programs for prescription drugs. Through these programs, PhRMA member companies supply free medicines to millions of eligible low-income patients.
  • Medicare has information about public and private programs that offer discounted or free medications as well as Medicare health plans that include prescription coverage.
