During the Covid-19 pandemic, many individuals need extra help financially. Rx Outreach is a non-profit, fully licensed, mail-order pharmacy. They developed a special financial assistance program dedicated to those affected by COVID-19. The typical financial requirements are waived for anyone whose financial situation is impacted during the pandemic for a number of reasons such as a family member is working reduced hours or has lost a job because of their employer, a family member needs to stay home with children or if they have serious medical issues due to or related to COVID-19.
Medication Access & Migraine
Rx Outreach’s mission states they “believe everyone deserves access to affordable medication.” They offer more than 1000 medications that cover many chronic disease states. They are strictly mail order and ship directly to you. Patients only pay for the published Rx Outreach price for the medications. Rx Outreach has been in business since 2010 and saved more than $320 million in prescription costs.
For the headache and migraine community, many medications are “Off Label” and offered by Rx Outreach. They do not offer any of the new CGRP monoclonal antibodies, or the new rescue meds in the ditan or gepant class; however you can visit CHAMP’s financial assistance guides for these new treatments. They offer many medications that are used in the headache disease community as well as many medications for co-morbid conditions. (Download the list below.)
Eligibility Requirements
If you do not qualify for assistance through their COVID-19 program and still need extra help, you may still be eligible to receive medications at a reduced price. Rx Outreach offers services regardless of age or insurance status. Patients on Medicare, Medicaid or other insurance plans still qualify. They serve people whose income is up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). As an example, in 2019 a family of four with an annual household income of $103,000 is 400% of FPL.
