Free Medicine recipient Grady Morgan with Medicare Part D, wrote to us on May 18, 2008 from Galt, California and said:

"I am diabetic and have become Insulin dependent. I do have personal health insurance but I go into the do-nut hole [Medicare Part D gap] after the first three months of the year. I take two types of Insulin and an Actos pill in addition every day and having to pay full price for my drugs has sent me into deep depression. When I heard of the Free Medicine Foundation I was reluctant to apply, but three months after applying I am receiving all my Medications absolutely free. I want to thank Free Meds and God for standing by my side and providing the help I needed.
I did not think I would have qualified for the help but please fill in the application and apply for help because I am here to tell you it is available.
Thanks again Free Meds for your help." Grady Morgan, Galt, Ca. Annual Savings $6,170.41

Free Medicine Foundation's staff and volunteers facilitate access to programs that have been available for the last 50 years helping people to save or eliminate their prescription medicine costs. And it's not just poor people who qualify for assistance. With each medication, the income criteria varies from below the poverty level up to $80,000 for a family of four.
This organization helps people to get
free medicine directly from pharmaceutical sponsors. If
you don't have prescription-drug coverage or have exhausted it-and
it's a financial hardship to purchase your medication, you may
qualify for assistance regardless of your age. Most successful
applicants have incomes that are too high for Medicaid but not high
enough to buy health care with drug benefits.
The main requirement is that you need the help.
If you do not fit the standard requirement of being uninsured, under-insured or have reached a cap with your insurance coverage, or eligible
Medicare Part D enrollees who have reached the "donut hole" with your prescription coverage, it’s possible that you can be accepted on appeal if you can show that paying for your required medication is a financial hardship for you.
Even if you don't fit that description, you probably know someone who does,
so pass it on. Here's how it works:
You fill out the inital application,
which you can obtain online here,
or by calling 1-573-996-3333. On the application, list your
name, address, phone number, your prescription drugs and the name
and address of your doctor. Mail the form, along with an application
processing fee of $10 for each prescription, to Free Medicine
Foundation, P. O. Box 125, Doniphan, Missouri 63935-0125.
You'll receive a Customized Packet and a letter for your doctor
asking for his or her help in completing the application(s). The
doctor should specify your prescription and dosage and mail the
completed forms to the appropriate sponsor, which either approves or
rejects the application(s). If you are approved, the sponsor will
usually send out a three-month supply of free medication to your
doctor for you.
If you are determined ineligible by all applicable sponsores, and receive
no medicine assistance, send a written request to Free Medicine
Foundation, include denial letter(s) for all applicable
sponsor(s) within 120 days of original application and your
processing fee will be fully refunded. If you initiate an application that requires a fee and decide you no longer wish to continue with the process, refunds of application fees will not be available. Most people who apply, follow the process, and are approved typically receive hundreds and even thousands of dollars in savings.
The beauty of this program is
that if the patient is not approved, and receives no medicine assistance,
we refund the full processing fee. So, the patient has everything to
gain and nothing to lose. We want the applicant to have “value
received”.

loved one qualifies like millions of others already have to receive
FREE prescription medicine.
Free Medicine Foundation’s function, in
cooperation with the physician, is to assist patients who may
qualify to enroll in one or more of the many patient assistance
programs now available. These programs provide prescription medicine
free-of-charge to individuals in
need, regardless of age, if they meet the sponsor's criteria.
If you are approved and enrolled, your medication will be sent to
your doctor and he will dispense it to you. If the program's sponsor
approves your application, you will receive your medication at no
charge. If you wish to begin your
application process at this time, simply mail to us the required
items numbered one (1) through four (4).
|
To be approved for enrollment, some
of the primary requirements are:
 |
The
applicant has no insurance coverage for outpatient prescription
drugs.
|
 |
The
applicant does not qualify for a government program which
provides for prescription medication, e.g. Medicaid.
|
 |
The
applicant's income is at a level which causes a hardship when
the patient is required to purchase the medication at retail.
|
...to be accepted into the program,
the applicant's income must fall within the limits established by
his particular sponsor. The household income limit requirement
varies with each program sponsor.
Examples listed in the 2007 report outlining the sponsor's criteria
for approval and enrollment; relate that individuals with family
incomes ranging from below the national poverty level up to
$80,000.00 annually can qualify. Decisions
concerning which medications are provided and which individuals are
accepted into the programs are made by the various program sponsors.
If you believe there is a possibility that you may qualify, and
desire our assistance, please mail to us the following listed
items, either by printing out, completing and mailing to us the
Program Application Form
or by simply writing us a letter including:
- The name, address and phone
number of the person taking the medication.
- The name of his/her
medication's.
- The name of your doctor who
prescribes the medication.
- Free Medicine Foundation
requires a $10.00 processing fee for each medication requested.
This fee is payable by cash, check or money order to Free
Medicine Foundation.
The processing fee should be mailed
to Free Medicine Foundation, P. O. Box 125, Doniphan, Missouri
63935-0125, along with the above requested information about the
patient's medication. Or you can apply online here. This is the quickest way to apply, because it takes out the snail-mail time, and the forms for you and your doctor will be emailed to the e-mail address supplied by the applicant, unless otherwise requested.) The funds necessary to support this program
and distribute these informational materials are provided by the
$10.00 processing fees contributed by the applicants.
Free Medicine Foundation guarantees a full processing fee
refund upon written request, to any applicant who receives no
medication assistance and is determined to be ineligible for assistance by all
applicable manufacturers. All refund requests must include a copy of
each manufacturer’s letter indicating the applicant has been
determined ineligible for assistance. Refund requests must be made
within four (4) months after original application is made to Free Medicine
Foundation. If you initiate an application that requires a fee and decide you no longer wish to continue with the process, refunds of application fees will not be available. Most people who apply, follow the process, and are approved typically receive hundreds and even thousands of dollars in savings.
The beauty of this program is that if the patient follows the instructions and is not approved, and receives no medicine assistance, we refund the full processing fee. We want the applicant to have "value received", meaning that they save more than the processing fee paid to Free Medicine Foundation. Our goal is to SAVE or ELIMINATE prescription drug costs for our applicants.
Immediately after receiving your information and fee, we will
respond to you either by e-mail or by return mail. One of the items you will receive
from us will be a letter addressed to your doctor. Since this is prescription medicine, your doctor, or a doctor licensed to prescribe your medicine must participate in the application process. This letter
provides your doctor with information about this program and
requests his/her cooperation. The doctor's letter will also provide
an access number to your particular program sponsor. You should
read, sign and forward the doctor's letter to him/her
immediately after you have received and read it.
Again, the first step you must take for us to be able to assist you
in the application process, is for you to return to Free Medicine Foundation the above
items numbered one (1) through four (4). (You can apply online here.) Upon receipt of these items
we will immediately process your information and respond to
you by return mail.
These privately funded programs have helped thousands of
families who cannot afford expensive prescription medicine. Although
we cannot guarantee your approval, if you believe you may qualify to
participate, we will be diligent in our efforts to assist you. Past
results have proven our program successful. If you have family or
friends who may benefit from this program, you can print an
application form from this web
site for them or call 1-573-996-3333 to request a
free brochure/application
be mailed to you.
