Partnership for Prescription Drugs
https://www.pparx.org/Intro.php Individual Assistance Programs by drug/manufacturer Brand Names http://seniorliving.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=seniorliving&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.needymeds. com%2F We very recently realized my father was also able to get free medication through the Veteran's Affairs because he is low income (and a veteran)...something he hadn't even considered orginally. Cost may vary dependent on income. http://www.va.gov/healtheligibility/...dicareDFAQ.asp My parents are low income seniors, and have been able to get almost all of their medication free. They had been exhausing their savings paying medical bills, and unfortunately we didn't look into this earlier. It has literally saved them hundreds of dollars per month over the last two years, that they just didn't have anymore. We've had to apply individually to many manufacturer programs, especially since the medicare changes for prescription drug coverage plans. They could not afford to sign up for any of the prescription coverage plans, and although it was a bit up in the air for awhile, most of the manufacturers still offer free medications to those who meet low income requirements, and DO NOT have any insurance plan for prescription coverage (seniors and non-seniors). They also got a lot of help with filing out forms from their local medical center/hospital who has a person employed just to help low income people do this... another thing to check for. If there are many medications, it is quite a task. My parents were each on 4-6 medications, and it pays to work with your doctor to look at different medications for the same thing that might have a better deal (free vs. discounted). Cara

And don't forget Walmart's list of $4 meds they offer. Not completely free, and it isn't a very long list, but if your medication is on it and you have no insurance, it can be a big savings.
Hugs,
