I don't know too many people who could pay for it like that. You can try any of these sites, for all your meds. The CoPay Relief Program 1-866-512-3861 or www.copay.org; or Suddenly Senior www.suddenlysenior.com/patientassistantprograms.html; or Needy Meds www.needymeds.org; and Partnership for Prescription Assistance 1-888-477-2669 or www.pparx.org www.freemedicine.com www.access2wellness.com

I am taking Humira (the pen form). My doctor gave me info to contact the manufacturer and after filling out paperwork I was able to receive it for free. I am sorry to say I do not have that info for you, but, your doctor should be able to help you get the ball rolling. I take it for Crohns Disease and it really helped for over a year, and then all of a sudden it just didn't work anymore. But, I did have a year with minimal symptoms, no hospitalizations, etc. The company that makes this does have a patient assistance program. I used it!

Here's the manufacturers web site for assistance www.humira.com/myhumira/financial-assistance.aspx
All the places you listed COULD be helpful for some people, but, being in the situation where I could not afford a medicine my doc ordered, I have tried most of the ones you listed. Unfortunately, most just sent me a discount card that all pharmacy's said they were already giving me a +cash pay+ discount that exceeds any help these places could give. Getting in touch with the manufacturer of any drug is a good way to go. Most have patient assistance programs. I get Humira for free!!
