Prescription Assistance
Prescription Assistance helps individuals gain access to drug company assistance programs which supply prescription medications at low or no cost.
Prescription assistance is offered in the way of Prescription Assistance Programs (PAPs), which are created by pharmaceutical companies to provide free or discounted medication to people who are unable to afford them.
An applicant typically must apply to each program separately. If you have access to a computer at home or through a public library, log on to www.needymeds.org and click on Patient Savings and then Prescription Assistance or www.pparx.org and click on Prescription Assistance Programs and then Patient Assistance Programs.
The Prescription Assistance Program is intended to be a temporary solution to ease the financial burden of purchasing medications. There is no guarantee that all medications will be covered or that you will be eligible for each drug company program. Each program has its own qualifying criteria and eligibility, so application requirements vary by drug company.
