Drug Companies often have programs that offer treatments to individuals who can't afford them. They are called Patient Assistance Programs. There are all types of programs, but the main type is the kind where a drug company makes their products available for free to people with few financial resources. Some will also help with co-payments for medications. Typically - but not always - these programs determine your eligibility based on your household income. Often, they will provide the drug (or possibly drugs) you need at no charge, but there are eligibility criteria you must meet and forms to be filled out. They may also require that you prove that you are not eligible for any public or private insurance programs. There are also drug discount cards, co-pay assistance programs, special Medicaid and Medicare Part D programs and more. We can help you figure all that out, if you need us to do so. |
