Prescription Assistance
The following resources may help get you assistance with your prescription drugs if you are unable to get prescription medication, do not qualify for a Medicare Part D plan, or are underinsured.
Many plans give you assistance without a fee, and some require a monthly premium the way that insurance would.
If you are unable to get a generic for your prescribed medication, please inform your medical doctor or health care provider that you are having difficulty paying for your medication. You may also be eligible for Medicaid, which would get you payment for your medications.
