Emergency Prescription Assistance Program

Providing uninsured people with drugs, vaccines, medical supplies, and medical equipment during certain declared emergencies.

When disaster strikes, people who do not have health insurance may be able to get help with some of their medical needs through Emergency Prescription Assistance Program (EPAP). Uninsured individuals can use EPAP to fill or replace a prescription, get vaccinated, or replace medical supplies and equipment. To qualify for EPAP, you must be uninsured, and you must live in an area where EPAP has been activated. EPAP is not activated for every federally declared disaster.

If your community is recovering from a disaster, check out the current list of activations to see if EPAP is available in your community. If EPAP has been activated, you can file a claim at one of thousands of thousands of retail pharmacies.
