According to Forbes, the cost of prescriptions has increased 33% since 2014...

This is a substantial amount for anyone, especially seniors or adults with disabilities who are on a fixed income.

Luckily, there are programs available to assist low-income families with some of the costs of medications and these are called Patient Assistance Programs.

Patient assistance programs are offered by a number of organizations. Some of those include:

• Nonprofits
• Pharmaceutical companies
• State sponsored programs from Health and Human Services Departments

In our latest guide titled Patient Assistance Programs: How To Get Help Paying For Your Prescription, I go over many of the options that are available to you or your clients who seek options on lowering the cost of medications.

I will say that finding help for prescriptions definitely requires effort, however, if you know where to look it makes this task easier.
