Step 1
Find out if you qualify for assistance based on need via your drug company, as many companies do offer such assistance. Ask your doctor if manufacturer of your medication has a program that helps families that cannot afford their health care.
-
Step 2
A great way to get free drugs is to ask your doctor for free samples. Most medication comes in free samples these days. If you and your doctor are considering starting a new drug, your doctor can sometimes request as much as a month's worth of the drug as a free sample for you.
-
Step 3
Many groups, such as the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, or PPA, sponsor efforts to try to help the needy have access to free drugs. Ask your doctor which of these medication programs you may be eligible for.
-
Step 4
Many drugstores will give you substantive rebates when you fill your prescriptions. These rebates can sometimes be used for more medications later, thus helping create a cycle of nearly free drugs for you. Ask your drugstore what kind of rebate programs they offer.
