  • Community RX Help is a non-profit organization that serves the uninsured in the following counties: Angelina, Nacogdoches. San Augustine and Shelby County. ​​
Espanol

  • We help people, with no prescription insurance, apply to the patient assistance programs, offered by the pharmaceutical companies.  We collect the necessary documents, needed by the pharmaceutical companies, and help the patient make application.  Then we troubleshoot the process for the patients, making sure appropriate applications are accepted. ​This is also a big advantage for the doctors in the area, who do not have the staff or time to manage the application process and follow-up as needed.

  What you will need

Programs

Maintenance Program: This program allows patients, who are deemed eligible, to be certified for one year to receive their medication.  Community RX Help staff calls in refills for the patient at 3 month or 4 month intervals.  Medications are mailed to the patient's home or to the doctor's office.
Emergency/Immediate Program:  ​This program can provide a 30 day supply of up to three medications, totaling no more than $500.  The medications that are covered by this program are heart, pulmonary, antibiotics, diabetes and epilepsy.  The eligibility for this program is the same as for the Maintenance Program.
​

Partners

Community RX Help partners with all of the doctors, medical clinics and emergency facilities in our four county service area to provide medication support for their patients.  We work very closely with the East Texas Community Health clinics in Nacogdoches and in Lufkin to support their low income patients.  We also work closely with Striplings Pharmacy to provide needed medications though our Emergency/Immediate Medication Program.​
"When I first came to Community RX Help, I was actively having seizures. I had been out of my medication for a month because I couldn't afford it. They helped me get an emergency supply and then they helped me sign up with the pharmaceutical company so I could continue to get a maintenance dose. I wouldn't be here today without their help. I am so grateful." - Linda F.
