Did you know many pharmaceutical companies have indigent programs? If you take a medication on a regular basis like inhalers for asthma, you can write or call the manufacturers and they will actually send your medication to your doctor's office for FREE!

All you have to do is ask your doctor which company makes your medication, contact the company (I've listed many of them below), they will send you some forms for you and your doctor to sign. All you usually have to do have to provide a tax return or some type of proof that you are indigent (broke ass poor).

To find the most current participating pharmaceutical programs click here.

State prescription programs are listed right here.

Medicaid sites can be found here.
