How It Works
Have you lost your job, recently become unemployed or uninsured, or simply cannot afford your monthly prescriptions? Rx YES! can help. Millions of individuals in the United States are eligible for help in paying for their prescriptions; many are eligible to obtain prescription drugs from pharmaceutical companies by qualifying for prescription assistance programs. Rx YES! has created a simple process, specially designed for success in enrolling individuals into the prescription assistance programs that are offered by the pharmaceutical companies.
What is a Prescription Assistance Program?
Patient Prescription Assistance Programs or Patient Assistance Programs (PAP's) are programs offered by major pharmaceutical companies which disburse prescription drugs in the United States. In essence, these programs offer brand name drugs to people who do not have adequate healthcare coverage. Each PAP has its own set of policies and guidelines in order to qualify for assistance with prescription drugs. Because each pharmaceutical company has different procedures for acceptance, it is extremely difficult for the average person to complete the required paperwork with a high degree of accuracy. Because of the 'paperwork hassle,' many fail to qualify for the medication. That is where RxYes ! becomes involved.
6 Easy Steps to Getting the Prescriptions You Need
Getting started with RxYES! is easy. Follow the simple steps we provide to begin your enrollment process into the prescription assistance programs provided by the pharmaceutical companies.
Step 1 : Gather Information Needed to Apply
Our specialists recommend having the following information available in order for you to achieve the easiest and most accurate application process.
- Monthly Income
- Personal information including Social Security Number
- Physician's Name, Address, and Phone Number
- Name and dosage of the prescription medications you are applying for
Step 2 : Apply Online
Fill out the full online application. This information will be used to enroll you in any patient assistance programs you apply for, to obtain prescription drugs.
Step 3 : Review Payment Information
Application Fee
RxYES! requires a one time, non-refundable, application fee. This fee will be accessed at the time of the initial phone interview (after you've submitted a completed application).
Monthly Prescription Management Fee
While you will save on your prescription costs with the help of RxYES!, we do require a fee for every enrollment application we manage.
This fee will be charged once a month on the 4th of every month, after your completed PAP applications have been sent to the pharmaceutical companies.
Our monthly fee is required to keep you enrolled with the proper patient assistance programs on a month to month basis. Pharmaceutical companies are constantly updating their guidelines, and because of this it is difficult for many individuals to stay enrolled. In short, your monthly fee keeps us working for YOU.
Accepted Payments
RxYES! accepts major credit or debit cards for all fees. If you need other arrangements, please discuss your preferences at the time of your initial phone interview.
Step 4 : Receive Your RxYES! Personal Application Packet
After your application(s) have been prepared and processed correctly for the pharmaceutical companies, you will receive a personal application packet in the mail within a short time.
Here is what you can expect to see included in your packet:
IRS Income Documentation
If you did not file a Federal Income Tax Return for the prior year, you must complete this form.
Completed Pharmaceutical Applications
You will need to sign your completed application in the proper highlighted areas.
RxYES! Agreement Contract
You will need to sign a simple contract that authorizes RxYES! to act as your advocate and allow pharmaceutical companies to access the required medical and financial information to provide proof that you meet their qualifications. This agreement also authorizes the drafting of fees from your account for services provided by RxYES!
HIPAA Release (Health Insurance Protability and Accountability Act
HIPAA is a US regulation that gives patients greater access to their own medical records and more control over how their personally identifiable health information is used. The regulation also addresses the obligations of healthcare providers and health plans to protect health information.
Pre-paid, pre-addressed envelope addressed to RxYES!
For the return of your completed documents to RxYES! for final review and proper submission to the pharmaceutical company.
Step 5 : Sign and Return Forms with Income Verification
Sign all documents within your RxYES! Application Kit. Have your physician sign where needed, and obtain an original copy of prescriptions.
Once you have your original prescriptions; pharmaceutical applications (signed by you and your physician); RxYES! contract; and release form completed, simply place the documents in the pre-labeled envelope that was included in your packet, and send it back to us in the mail.
Note:
It is extremely important that you return your documents with your proof of income. Pharmaceutical companies require proof that you meet their requirements for yearly generated income; without this your application CANNOT be considered. If you did not file an income tax return last year, please be sure you filled out the IRS Income Document included with your packet.
Acceptable documents for proof of income include the following:
Federal income tax form.(1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040X, 1722, 8453, 8879, or 1099INT)
Yearly Benefits statement. A letter of verification can be obtained from the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213.
W2 Tax Statment

Statements of interest, dividends, or other income
Step 6 : Receive Your Prescription Medications!
That's all. It generally takes 2-6 weeks for the arrival of the first set of prescriptions to you, from the pharmaceutical company. Your medications will be delivered to your doctor’s office, or directly to your front door. RxYES! does not receive your medications.
