Help With Prescription Costs

Healthcare assistance is highly program-specific. Use official sources to confirm eligibility, coverage, deadlines, and current terms.

Start with the right type of help

Define the need first, then identify the agency or program that administers assistance. Do not assume that a grant is the right mechanism: benefits, subsidies, loans, rebates, tax credits, and local programs can serve different purposes.

Verify before you apply

Check the administering agency, eligibility rules, application method, deadlines, and whether the website is official. Grants.gov warns that the government does not charge a fee to apply for a federal grant and does not contact people to award grants they never applied for.
