Benefits of the Prescription Assistance Program
When you can afford your medications and take them consistently, your health outcomes improve — it's that simple. This program removes one of the most significant barriers to chronic disease management and preventive care, helping patients stay on track with their treatment plans without financial stress.
Why HANDS Clinic
At HANDS Clinic, we know that a prescription without the ability to fill it isn't really care. That's why we built a dedicated program to make sure cost never stands between our patients and their medication. It's part of our broader commitment to comprehensive, barrier-free healthcare for every eligible resident in St. Lucie County.
Eligibility is based on four factors: income level, St. Lucie County residency, age (19–64), and insurance status. The easiest way to find out is to fill out our eligibility form — it only takes a few minutes and will determine whether you qualify for care.
Processing times vary depending on the manufacturer or assistance program involved. Your care coordinator will keep you informed throughout the process and follow up on your behalf to move things along as quickly as possible.
Yes. Services at HANDS Clinic are provided at no cost to eligible patients. There are no copays, no fees, and no surprise bills. Most services are completely free; some specialty referrals may be at a discounted rate. Your care team will always be upfront with you about what's included.
Our team will explore all available options and connect you with additional resources where possible. We won't leave you without next steps — if one avenue doesn't work, we'll look for another.
