partial list of manufacturers and prescriptions available through
the programs.
Who qualifies?
Most programs have income and/or
asset guidelines, but each program is different. People of
all ages and abilities may apply. Most people who qualify
have moderate to low income.
What do I have to do?
Call RxConnect™/Senior
LinkAge Line™ at 1-800-333-2433 to speak with a specialist who can
find the right drug manufacturer patient assistance program to
meet your income and prescription needs.
When you call you should
have the following information ready to share with the specialist:
-
Income
and financial information
-
List
of prescriptions with dosage information
-
Doctor and clinic name and address
With the information you
provide, the RxConnect™/ Senior LinkAge
Line™ specialist will use a computer to
fill out the applications and then send them to you. You
will need to bring the application and supporting paperwork to
your medical clinic for your doctor to sign before they are sent
to the drug manufacturer. Once approved, the drug
manufacturer will send the prescription, usually a three months supply, to your clinic
for you to pick up.
If you would like to apply
for the programs by yourself, you may go to
helpingpatients.org or
