Other savings options include financial assistance programs. Some help lower what you pay at the pharmacy; others may provide the medication for free.\u00a0Where to start depends on your insurance, income, and the medication you take.<\/p>\n
Manufacturer Copay Cards<\/p>\n
\u201cFor brand-name medications, manufacturer assistance programs and copay savings cards are a good starting point, as they can heavily subsidize the out-of-pocket cost,\u201d Basman says.<\/p>\n
