Medical diagnosis necessary for this program is not specified. The patient must also be a US resident, green card or work visa holder. Patients who are eligible for Medicare Part D but have not enrolled may still be eligible for this program. Individuals with Medicare Part D should apply to the AZ&ME Prescription Savings Program for people with Medicare Part D. The application for this program and the AstraZeneca Cancer Support Network Patient Assistance Program is the same and says 'Application for Free AstraZeneca Medicines' on the upper left side. People who are in Medicare and may be eligible for the Limited Income Subsidy can apply. However, if they are accepted into the LIS, they are no longer eligible for the AZ& ME Prescription Savings Program.
