Drug Company Assistance Programs
Many pharmaceutical companies, state programs and nonprofits have drug assistance programs (PAPs) that offer free or low-cost medicines if you don’t have insurance or are underinsured and can’t afford your medicine.
Programs and program benefits vary. Depending on your insurance and medicine, you may be eligible for help to reduce their medicine copay. You may qualify for free medicines if you do not have health insurance, do not have enough health insurance to cover your medicines or meet certain criteria.
Below is a list of several organizations and programs that may be able to help you cover the cost of your medications.
