Before you pick up the phone
Most of these programs start with one call, and having these ready makes it shorter. Tick them off as you go. Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere.
Call the drugmaker's support line first. Its case managers check your benefits and often fill out forms with your doctor. If a charity fund is closed, sign up on the foundation's page to hear when it reopens. Most programs need renewing every year, and many copay cards reset in January.
