Prescription Assistance - Most
pharmaceutical companies have a patient assistance program whereby they ship
free prescription drugs to your door or doctors office if you are uninsured
or underinsured. Most have an income limit of $16,000.00 to $18,000.00
for single households and $24,000.00 fir two or more. Find the
toll-free number of your drug's manufacturer (ask your pharmacist if you
don't know) and ask to speak with patient assistance. You will have to
complete forms and submit them to your doctor, but most companies will be
courteous and eager to help those who qualify. |
