The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency responsible for administering the Medicare program, gathered the data contained in the Prescription Drug and Other Assistance Programs database from various sources. The respective drug card program sponsors submit data for the Medicare-approved drug discount drug card programs directly to CMS. Other data contained in this database is collected from public sources and supplemented with telephone calls to states, disease-specific organizations, and pharmaceutical companies. Drug pricing data is updated on a weekly basis.   All other information is updated monthly.

This information is being provided as a service to help people with Medicare get information about programs that may assist with your prescription drug and other health care costs. Every effort has been made to provide accurate and complete information. However, we cannot guarantee that there will be no errors. Neither the U.S. Government nor CMS assumes any legal liability for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, product, or process disclosed herein, or represents that use of such information, product, or process would not infringe on privately owned rights.

The CMS website contains links to various other Federal and state agencies and private organizations. These links are maintained solely for the user's information and convenience. Once you link to another site, please be aware that you are then subject to the policies of the new site. In addition, please note that CMS does not control and cannot guarantee the relevance, timeliness, or accuracy of these outside materials. Further, the inclusion of links or pointers to particular items in hypertext is not intended to reflect their importance, nor is it intended to constitute approval or endorsement for any views expressed, or products or services offered, on their outside websites, or the organizations sponsoring the sites.

Special Note to Sponsoring Organizations: We have made every effort to contact all organizations that administer an assistance program and to include their information in this database. If you manage an assistance program and are not included in this database, please contact us. We will obtain the necessary information and add the program to the database. Thank you.

Please select the following link to view our Frequently Asked Questions on Prescription Drug and Other Assistance Programs.

Download Database: The Prescription Drug and Other Assistance Programs data file is available for download onto your computer. Please visit the Download Database section of our website for additional information or to download the database. (This downloadable database only includes contact and eligibility information for the programs contained in the database. Drug pricing information for Medicare-approved drug discount card programs is excluded from the downloadable database.)
