Many pharmaceutical companies voluntarily offer their medications at little or no cost to low-income individuals through plans known as prescription-assistance programs or PAPs. Unfortunately, many Arkansans are unaware that these PAPs may be available to address their needs.
To apply for assistance from these programs, consumers must submit an application directly to the pharmaceutical manufacturer. The manufacturer then determines whether the consumer is eligible to participate in its program.
The following links offer information about the manufacturers that currently provide prescription-assistance programs:

The Attorney General does not assist in determining whether an individual is eligible to participate in a prescription assistance program.
Additionally, other entities within the State of Arkansas offer assistance to consumers in registering for these programs at little or no cost. These organizations provide an invaluable service to Arkansans.
Arkansas organizations providing prescription assistance include:
Arkansas Health Care Access Foundation, Inc. Prescription Assistance Line for Seniors (PALS) White River Area on Aging |
Area Agency on Aging of Southeast Arkansas CareLink, the Central Arkansas Area on Aging Area Agency on Aging of Southwest Arkansas Area Agency on Aging of Western Arkansas |
