Prescription Assistance
MAINTAIN (Medicines Assistance for Those who Are In Need) is a program in place by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer that helps patients who are unemployed and uninsured keep taking their Pfizer medications. The program also applies to patients who are taking Wyeth medications as the two companies have merged. Once you qualify, MAINTAIN can provide you or your immediate family with Pfizer medicines free of charge for up to one year, or until you have insurance again.

In order to qualify for the MAINTAIN program, you or your immediate family member must meet the following requirements:
-
Became unemployed on or after January 1, 2009
-
Were prescribed and taking a Pfizer (or Wyeth) medicine for at least 3 months prior to becoming unemployed and enrolling in the program
-
Have no prescription coverage
-
Can attest that you are experiencing a financial hardship
-

What medicines can I receive with MAINTAIN?
Many Pfizer brand medicines are available for free. However, if you have been prescribed a specialty or oncology medicine, you may need to qualify for another Pfizer patient assistance program to get help receiving those medicines.
