If you have 0 prescription coverage you can usually get your prescriptions for free but you have to also fall within a certain income level. But it is worth it to try.

A great place to look up applications for prescription assistance is www.rxassist.org
Go through patient and then type in your medicine name. It will bring up the links to all the applications.

Be prepaired that you will need to submit your tax form for the previous year due to the income. Also your doctor needs to fill out part of the application and write a prescription which is then all faxed or mailed. I've found in some circumstances it is best to fax and mail a copy. Also to keep a copy of everything for yourself and a copy for the doctor to put in your chart. This is because as with all assistance programs things are slow, and often get confused or need to be resent.

I have been helping people do this for years to get their insulin. One lady I help every year. I have it down to an art form... haha...
