What Lilly Patient Assistance Is Available?
Lilly offers patient assistance through the Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program. If you qualify, you may be able to get your Lilly medication(s) free of charge for up to 12 months, after which you’ll need to reapply. For patients with Medicare Part D, the enrollment period runs through the end of the current calendar year.
Nearly three dozen Lilly medications are provided free of charge to those who meet the eligibility requirements, including:
- Basaglar (long-acting insulin for children with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 2)
- Cymbalta (antidepressant prescribed for peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and clinical depression)
- Emgality (an injectable monoclonal antibody used to prevent migraine)
- Prozac (prescribed for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia, and panic disorder)
- Strattera (used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD)
- Taltz (an injectable medication for plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis)
- Verzenio (prescribed for patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer)
What does Simplefill Provide?
Living with a chronic disease, especially a progressive one, is never easy for patients or their families. There’s not only a physical toll, but also an emotional one. When you add a seemingly impossible financial burden, the future can look bleak. It may become necessary to make difficult decisions and sacrifice other essentials in order to maintain an uninterrupted supply of the medication(s) you depend on.
By bridging the gap between those who need patient assistance and programs offering it, Simplefill aims to make life a little easier for the many people who are finding it difficult, if not impossible, to pay for their prescription drugs.
How does Lilly Patient Assistance Work?
The following are the eligibility requirements for the Lilly Cares program:
- You must be a permanent, legal resident of the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- You must have a prescription for a qualifying Lilly medication.
- You must be uninsured or enrolled in Medicare Part D.
- You must not have insurance that provides prescription coverage, although some people with Medicare Part D may be eligible if they’re spending 4% or more of their gross annual income on prescription drugs.
- Your household’s total annual adjusted gross income does not exceed the stated limits.
Eligible Lilly medications are organized in three groups, and there is a different income limit for each group:*
- 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) for assistance with Group 1 medications
- 400% of FPL for Group 2
- 500% of FPL for Group 3
* Lilly Care adjusts these limits for residents of Alaska and Hawaii.
