We have developed the following services and products for those who help the needy:

  • Drug Discount Cards: With the NeedyMeds Drug Discount Card you and your clients can save up to 70% on drug costs. The card is free with no monthly or other charges. No personal information is required nor gathered about users. Each time a prescription is filled a small donation is made to NeedyMeds to help us continue our work.

    You can download a paper version of the card HERE. A plastic version is available HERE for $5 for postage and handling. Or you can send us a self-addressed stamped envelope (PO Box 219, Gloucester, MA 01931) and we will send you a free card.

    Volume discounts for the plastic card are available. For more information email drugcard@needymeds.org

  • Advocate forums: A place for advocates to discuss PAPs, problems, share ideas, and more.

  • Patient Advocate News (PAN): A bimonthly electronic PDF newsletter available at no cost. Includes interviews and articles for anyone who helps people find healthcare assistance.

  • Extensive Program Database: Add your organization or program to the NeedyMeds website so we can work together to reach more people who need assistance from programs that help them with the costs of healthcare.

  • PAPTracker: Economical software designed to help small to medium-sized offices manage their PAP users. Efficient and easy to learn, the program is available for a risk-free, one-month trial.

  • Brochures: The NeedyMeds brochure is designed to help patients use the NeedyMeds website to find assistance programs. We will send you 25 copies at no cost.

  • Volunteer Project: A new program that we are developing to teach volunteers to help people find assistance through the website.
