Many programs offer financial assistance for prescription medications

Please note that FORCE does not provide financial assistance. However, we are happy to share these resources.

If your health insurer denies coverage of risk-reducing medication recommended or prescribed by your health care provider, visit our Health Insurance Appeals page for guidance and resources.

Many hospitals and medical practices have nurse navigators, social workers or financial counselors who can help identify financial assistance and other resources. In addition, most pharmaceutical companies have financial assistance programs for patients who are uninsured or underinsured and struggle to afford their medications.
