You can find numerous programs using the RxAssist website and they all have their own specific requirements, but the most common requirements are you must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident, have little or no prescription insurance coverage and meet program income guidelines.
As stated earlier, medical care can be expensive, and some programs can even help people who have insurance. Qualified applicants can find help with things like co-pays, and prescription discount cards that can be printed right from the website. Many of the programs work with Medicare Part D Plans.
Also on the website is a database of prescription drugs and associated programs that can be searched by the generic or drug brand name or by the pharmaceutical company name. Just type in the medication’s full name with correct spelling. You can also search using partial names such as “Lip” if you are looking for Lipitor.
If an application for the drug is available you can either type your information directly into the application on the screen and print it out or print out the application and fill it out by hand. If you can’t find an application online, use the phone number provided at the top of the program details page to call the company for information on how to get an application.
