Is there financial help for medications? - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

Does anyone know of a drug company (like Novartis) which might assist people who can't afford medications? I'm on disability, and some of the medications I take are no longer covered on the insurance program I have. One of the drugs is prevacid. I've tried to look some up on the internet, but I haven't found anything. My dr. was kind enough to give me several months of samples, but I'm running out. If anyone knows of help I can get, please let me know.

Thanks,
Trish

Does your insurance not cover prevacid at all? My insurance wouldn't cover the capsules but they would cover the dissolvable tablets.

It reads "step therapy protocols apply" and I was told by the home office (by phone) that the medicine was no longer covered. I will talk to my pharmacist about it. I didn't even know there were different types of prevacid.
Thanks for letting me know.
