For the past 2 years, I have received 6 months of asthma medications free from GlaxoSmithKline while in the Part D donut hole. You must have spent $600 out of pocket and there is a income limit; last year it was under $28,000 for singles and $37,700 for 2. You will need to submit copies of your tax return and medication receipts with your application. I began receiving my medication within 2 weeks of applying.
To see which of your medications GlaxoSmithKline will supply, go to http://www.gsk-access.com/index.html.
To see if other pharmaceutical companies provide free medications in the "donut hole", check http://www.pparx.org/. You will need to check the requirements for each company, because each program is different. Please note that if you are on Medicaid, most companies will not provide assistance.
