Will you pay for my medication?
- The Knox Clinic does not directly pay for medications or prescriptions. We will help you apply to the pharmaceutical company to request your medication free of charge, or find the least expensive options for you.
Can I get an application?
- There is not an application to the “Knox Clinic’s Prescription Assistance Program”. Since you will be applying directly to the pharmaceutical company, there will be a separate application for each medication. For help with this, please call 207-680-4535.
How long does the application process take?
- Most medications take about three to four weeks to arrive once the application has been submitted.
What do you need from me?
- Most companies require a copy of your federal tax return if you filed one. If you did not file a tax return most will accept a social security benefit statement, pay stub, unemployment benefit statement or other form of proof of income.
- We will need a prescription from your doctor unless you are a patient at the Knox Medical Clinic.
How much medication will I get and how much will it cost?
- Once your application is approved, most companies send a three month supply. The majority of companies approve you for one year. There is no charge for the medication.
What if I have insurance?
- Eligibility varies by company. Please call 207-680-4535 to speak to our Access Navigator for more information.
