Generally, if your income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level and you dont have insurance coverage you should be able to qualify. If you only need help with 1-2 medicines then just contact the company directly and you should be able to handle it yourself. On the other hand, if you need help with 4+ different prescriptions then you will probably want to hire an assistance firm to help you. It really can be complicated managing several different programs at the same time. Best of luck to you! Kim, one way to save, if you qualify is to get enrolled in Prescription Assistance Programs.

It does work better! Amazing. That's great about your getting a better health insurance deal by shopping around.
