Help paying for your medication

1. 1

   Find your medication

   Use our database to search for your medication.

2. 2

   Check whether you qualify

   Each program has its own guidelines. Some common requirements are:

   • Be a U.S. citizen or legal resident
   • Be uninsured or underinsured
   • Not qualify for state or federal programs, such as Medicare or Medicaid
   • Meet program income guidelines, which are often a percentage of the federal poverty guidelines
3. 3

   Gather your documents

   Programs usually ask for proof of income, such as a tax return, pay stubs, or a Social Security statement. Some also ask for a prescription or a letter showing you were turned down by Medicaid or your insurance.

4. 4

   Fill out the application with your doctor

   Most applications need your prescriber's signature and information. Print the form and bring it, with your documents, to your next appointment.

5. 5

   Send it and follow up

   Mail or fax the application as requested by the program. It may take time for your application to be processed. If you haven't heard back in a few weeks, call the program directly. Most programs require re-enrollment. Be sure to note when you'll need to re-enroll so your medication does not stop.
