Prescription Savings Now Available to Nearly 90 Percent of Uninsured Americans

Family practice physician assistants see firsthand the struggles that uninsured patients face every day in gaining access to quality healthcare. In today’s challenging economic environment, more uninsured individuals are putting their health on hold to focus on other immediate needs. Fortunately, resources are available that can help these individuals gain better access to savings on their prescription medicines.

For example, the pharmaceutical companies that sponsor the Together Rx Access® Program recently expanded the Program’s eligibility income levels. With the enhancement, nearly 90 percent of uninsured Americans can save on the medicines they need to stay healthy and to manage chronic conditions.

The new income levels for which individuals are eligible for a Together Rx Access Card range from $45,000 for a single person to $90,000 for a family of four. In addition, individuals must be legal residents of the United States or Puerto Rico, and have no public or private prescription coverage, or qualify for Medicare.
Most cardholders save 25 to 40 percent* on brand-name prescription products. Medicines in the Program include those used to treat high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, asthma, and many other common conditions. Savings are also available on thousands of generics. The Together Rx Access Card is free to get and free to use.
