I get started?

Each drug manufacturer company determines the eligibility criteria for its patient assistance program (eligibility criteria and the application process vary) General eligibility criteria involves income requirements, family size and status of prescription insurance coverage Some companies will provide certain medications to patients who have prescription insurance once they are capped out on quarterly or annual allowances. Some companies will only consider a patient eligible for approval if their income does not exceed the federal poverty guidelines. Others may qualify patients if their income is higher than federal poverty guidelines. Federal poverty guidelines may be found at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/poverty.shtml
