Common questions
What’s the cheapest way to get heart and blood clots medication?
It depends on the drug and how you pay. Check whether a generic or biosimilar exists first, then the maker’s assistance program. On Medicare, look at Extra Help. Each guide below shows the best starting point for your situation.
Can I use a copay card with Medicare?
No. Federal law bars drugmaker copay cards for Medicare, Medicaid, VA and TRICARE. Extra Help, charity foundations and drugmaker free-drug programs can still help.
