Rx Outreach — Nonprofit Mail-Order Pharmacy

rxoutreach.org

What it is:

A U.S. nonprofit, mail-order pharmacy that sells medications at low, set prices — not a traditional patient assistance program. They do not bill insurance.

General Pharmacy Service (no application needed):

• Who can use it: Anyone in the U.S. with a valid prescription — no income check, no membership, no eligibility requirements

• How it works: Search their website for your medication → have your provider send the prescription to Rx Outreach → order online or by phone → medication ships free

• Cost: Low set prices (since they're nonprofit, prices are typically well below retail)

• Does not bill insurance — you pay their listed price directly

Specialized Patient Assistance Programs (application required):

• Rx Outreach also runs limited-time programs (e.g., "Fill the Gap"), providing free medications to people who meet specific criteria

• Typical eligibility: Income at or below 300% of Federal Poverty Level, may be restricted by age (55+), specific chronic conditions, geography, or insurance status

• Process: Complete an application with income verification

Best for:

People who are uninsured or whose insurance co-pays are higher than Rx Outreach's set prices — especially for common chronic condition medications (diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.).
