Free Program Improves Prescription Access for Eligible People Living with Chronic Pain
As the number of uninsured Americans with chronic conditions rises and the economy continues to struggle, more and more people are finding it difficult to maintain their health, including those individuals suffering from fibromyalgia and/or chronic pain. These individuals may be challenged to stay compliant with their medications due to an inability to afford them. However, skipping medicines or cutting back on medical care can lead to more serious health consequences.
To help uninsured Americans access the medicines they need, leading pharmaceutical companies sponsor the Together Rx Access® Program. The Program helps eligible individuals and families gain access to immediate and meaningful savings on prescription products right at their neighborhood pharmacies. Individuals may be eligible for the Together Rx Access Card if they do not qualify for Medicare, do not have public or private prescription drug coverage, and have a household income of up to $45,000 for a single person to $90,000 for a family of four (income eligibility is adjusted for family size).
Most cardholders save 25 to 40 percent* on brand-name prescription products. More than 300 brand-name prescription products are included in the Program. Savings are also available on a wide range of generics. Medicines in the Program include those used to treat fibromyalgia, chronic pain, depression, diabetes, asthma, and many other common conditions. The Card is free to get and free to use.
Cardholders simply bring the Card to their neighborhood pharmacist along with their prescription, and the savings are calculated right at the pharmacy counter. There are no enrollment costs, monthly dues or hidden fees. There are three easy ways to enroll. All enrollment materials are available in English and Spanish. And, no documentation is required. - Visit TogetherRxAccess.com

The Together Rx Access Card is activated immediately if the eligible enrollee calls within call center business hours and within two business days at all other times.

Together Rx Access also directs individuals to the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA), a clearinghouse for more than 475 public and private assistance programs, including nearly 200 offered by pharmaceutical companies. Those who are eligible for the Together Rx Access Card may qualify for additional savings on prescription medicines, or even free medicines, through other patient assistance programs in the PPA. The PPA also connects people to free health clinics in their community.

Participating companies independently set the level of savings offered and the products included in the program. Those decisions are subject to change.
