After trying good RX and not getting a decent discount I was just told to go do more coupon hunting for my meds. That are about $300

I've been without them for weeks now.

Fun times.

Did you search with the manufacturer directly? They often have their own coupon plans and if you don't find that, search the manufacturer and income assistance or something along those lines, they might have a general way to help.

There's also Mark Cuban's http://costplusdrugs.com though they're limited in what they offer.

Sam's Club, Costco, and Walmart can have cheaper prices and some places are cheaper if you pay cash instead of insurance

This website might help: https://medicineassistancetool.org/

Try googling the med name and payment assistance or payment card. It gets my specialty med from 1500 to 5 per month and most companies have something similar on other lines of meds.

It's a nice thing, but their salary limits to quality are horseshit. It's straight across the board in the US. So if the cutoff is $70k and you live in the Bay Area where salaries are generally higher, you're fucked because you "make too much" even though that salary is barely enough to get by there

But live in the middle of nowhere Alabama? You're good even if you make below that and save a shit ton of money because the cost of living is low

Look at Patient Assistance Programs for your medications. Each one is named something a little different, depending on the company.
