Prescription Assistance
Most pharmaceutical companies offer financial assistance programs to persons who are uninsured. This assistance is available to help cover the cost of medications and supplies when they cannot be paid for out-of-pocket. Each pharmaceutical company has specific criterion that needs to be satisfied in order for an individual to be considered eligible for a financial assistance program.
Contacting the pharmaceutical companies that make insulin and medications
Here you will find phone numbers and information on pharmaceutical companies who manufacture diabetes medications and supplies and may be able to help with your needs. If you are unsure, you should ask your doctor or local pharmacist for the name of the pharmaceutical company that makes your diabetes insulin, supplies, and medications.
Important note: Users of the LifeScan One Touch, and Abbott Precision Xtra, and Freestyle blood glucose meters may be eligible for reduced-priced meters and test strips. Contact TogetherRX Access for more information, or by calling 1-800-444-4106. Some diabetes medications are also available at a reduced rate through this program. Unfortunately, we are unaware of other manufacturers of blood glucose meters and testing strips that have established patient assistance programs for people who are unable to purchase their test strips out-of-pocket.
