Compassionate care programs

Many drug companies have compassionate care or patient assistance programs, which offer free or low cost prescription drugs to qualifying individuals. These programs typically offer time limited coverage to people with low-income who do not have drug coverage for the medication they need.

For example, if you need insulin, but cannot afford it, the companies below have compassionate care programs. In these cases, your physician or diabetes clinic would need to coordinate with the pharmaceutical company to set up the assistance.
  • ​Lilly Patient Support Program
  • Sanofi-Adventis Compassionate Care Program: contact their general customer service line (1-800-265-7927) for an application form to be sent to your doctor.
