This blog
will answer some basic questions about the nationwide advocacy service, SimpleFill,
who helps people get prescription assistance when they are uninsured. It’s one
of the scariest and most frustrating things when you need prescription
medications but you’re unable to afford them. SimpleFill is devoted to signing
people up for patient assistance programs that will enable them to live a
normal life and continue to get the medication they need.
So, the process is relatively
simple, as the name implies. You will go to their online page at
SimpleFill.com, where you’ll fill out an initial patient assistance program application. You’ll be contacted
within 24 hours to see if you’re eligible for the prescription assistance. If
you are, you’ll be further instructed to fill out additional forms. Nothing is
too difficult, but you’ll have to verify some things that keep the company
legitimate and smoothly-running. The program is not associated with any type of
health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Simple Fill is an agency all on its
own, and it does not provide insurance—only the prescription assistance
necessary for a patient.
If you only need short term help
paying for your prescriptions, you can still qualify. You will be able to quit
the program at any time. Because the agency is about advocacy and assistance,
they do no rope anyone into contracted agreements where they must stay in the
program for a given period of time. That would imply the company is trying to
get more money out of patients without their interest in mind. Very much this
is not the case. Look into the website to discover more. There is a
comprehensive overview of everything that will allow you to make your decision
with ease.
