Thanks to USA federal government incentives, pharmaceutical companies may provide free prescription medicines if:

* You have no insurance
* You have reached a gap in private or public prescription insurance coverage (like many Medicare beneficiaries do with Part D)
* You simply don't have enough money to pay for your medications

Generally, if you earn less in a year than the levels shown below, you may qualify for some or all of the prescription drugs you need:

* $41,600 for single people
* $56,000 for couples
* $84,800 for a family of four.

Most people have no idea that instead of paying the high prices at their pharmacy, they could be picking up their medicine for free or low cost at the same pharmacy, just by applying and being approved for free medicine. Being eligible and approved is easier than most people think. (And FreeMedicine is here to help you do just that.) Have your medication delivered to your home, local pharmacy or doctor’s office, for FREE from special programs designed for people in the USA with incomes as high as $84,800.00.

* Please apply if you:*

• Are Uninsured
• Under-Insured
• Participate in Medicare Part D
• Take medicine not covered by insurance
• Have high deductible co-pays

Don’t go without your medicine just because you can’t afford it. Apply online right here (the fastest way to get started) or call 1-573-996-3333 to request a free brochure and application mailed to you today.

A single application may provide for up to one year of medicine free of charge to eligible individuals and an individual may reapply as many times as needed.

RX Assist

Patient assistance programs are run by pharmaceutical companies to provide free medications to people who cannot afford to buy their medicine.

All in one place.

NeedyMeds

NeedyMeds is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1997 by Richard Sagall, MD, and Libby Overly, MSW, as a resource of information about patient assistance programs (PAPs). Ms. Overly was working as a medical social worker in a rural Mississippi. She developed a database of PAP information to help her meet the needs of her clients. When she described this database to Rich Sagall, a friend with a medical practice in Bangor, Maine, he had the idea of putting the information on the Internet to make it available to more people. This was the beginning of NeedyMeds.com.

The mission of NeedyMeds has been, since its inception, to make information about assistance programs available to low-income patients and their advocates at no cost. The website, NeedyMeds.com, is the face of the organization. Databases such as Patient Assistance Programs and Disease-Based Assistance, government programs and other types of assistance programs are the crux of the free information we offer online. In response to the growing needs of advocates and patients, NeedyMeds recently added a free clinics database to its website and started an online forum, NeedyMeds Forums, for patient advocates.

The scope of NeedyMeds has grown to include much more information than just the information on the website. NeedyMeds has developed software, PAPRxTracker, to help small-to-medium offices manage their PAP patients. Patient Advocate News (PAN) is a bi-monthly electronic newsletter available at no cost for advocates. And, NeedyMeds does outreach through the Volunteer Project, the mailing of thousands of brochures on how to find assistance and affiliations with other non-profits.

NeedyMeds is funded by small grants, the sale of PAPRxTracker, revenue from ads on the homepage and syndication of some of information. NeedyMeds also works with the patient assistance programs of several pharmaceutical distributors.
