• Your name, address, date of birth, SSN
• Insurance details
• Income details
• Physician details

We require your doctor’s details because your doctor will need to be involved in the application process. We will send your doctor a request for a prescription and the application documents to sign.

In some instances, we may notify you that we need your assistance in expediting the request for the signed documents from your doctor.

Yes.  The eligibility requirements for each pharmaceutical company may change from time to time. Therefore, if you have been unsuccessful in the past, it does not mean you will be unsuccessful in the future. In addition, if your circumstances change, this could change your eligibility status.

The documents are required by the pharmaceutical company for final approval. Your medication delivery will be delayed until we receive all of the required documents.

All applicants will have access to a ‘My Account’ page to upload any documents required by the pharmaceutical companies.

If you are struggling to upload documentation, you can email the documents to [email protected] or fax to (888) 517-7444. For your security, please do not email any documents that have sensitive details.

Yes, however, we do not recommend that you delay sending the documents because it may cause delays in you receiving your medication delivery from the pharmaceutical company.

In a very small number of cases, this may occur. Ultimately, the pharmaceutical company will determine the final acceptance of each applicant, and NiceRx does not take responsibility for delays in receiving your medication or the potential rejection of your application. We will always keep you updated, and if there is a rejection, you will be fully refunded. We can also appeal the decision on your behalf.

Once you complete your enrollment, we will contact your doctor to request a signed prescription and application documents which are required by the pharmaceutical companies. Generally, doctor offices do respond positively to our requests. When we are unable to receive the signed documents from your doctor after multiple contact attempts, we may request your assistance. Ultimately, the faster we get the signed documents from your doctor, the quicker you may be approved for assistance by the pharmaceutical company.

There is no limit on the number of medications you can apply for. NiceRx provides access to over 1,500 FDA-approved medications, and provided your medication is available for assistance, you can apply for assistance with your medication. The monthly service fee is charged per eligible medication, so please remember if you were to enroll and qualify for two medications, the monthly service fee with NiceRx would be $98, for example.

We update our medication list frequently. If you do not see your medication listed, please contact us to check if we can assist. If NiceRx cannot obtain at least one medication for you, you will not be charged for service.

We provide a full service that includes 100% of the cost of the medications and there are no hidden fees or shipping costs. Final approval is determined by the pharmaceutical companies and you will not be charged any fees if you are not approved.

NiceRx is unable to assist with generic medications at this time. However, if your generic medication costs you more than $49 per month, we may be able to assist you in obtaining the brand equivalent at a cheaper price.

All medications are supplied directly from the pharmaceutical company. NiceRx does not handle or ship any medications directly.

NiceRx handles all of the paperwork and processing required for you to obtain your medications from U.S. pharmaceutical companies. The U.S. pharmaceutical company is responsible for the supply and shipment of your medication(s) to your home or your doctor’s office. Once enrolled, you can generally expect to receive a 90-day supply of medication(s) within 6 to 8 weeks on average, subject to all documentation being received from you and your doctor. NiceRx will continue to manage the processing of ongoing refills for your medication(s) after you receive the first delivery of medication.

Once you have completed the enrollment form, we will let you know if you are eligible for assistance with any of your medications. We may then request further documents as required by the pharmaceutical companies. It is extremely urgent that we receive the required documentation as soon as possible to avoid delays with your medication delivery. Documents can be uploaded directly to your online account.

You will need to obtain your medication through your usual method, for example, samples from a healthcare provider, 30-day supply from a local pharmacy, etc. Regrettably, NiceRx does not provide any reimbursements for purchases outside of our services.

NiceRx is not involved in deciding acceptance into the program, which is ultimately at the sole discretion of the pharmaceutical companies, and  NiceRx does not take responsibility for any delays with receiving your medications or rejection of your application.

Most programs have a 1-year enrollment period and ship a 90-day supply of medication at a time. This may vary by pharmaceutical company. We will notify you when it’s time to renew your enrollment and let you know which documents are required to continue receiving your medication from the pharmaceutical company.

A pharmaceutical company has to be licensed by the federal government in order to dispense medication directly to a patient. In these cases, the pharmaceutical company is likely not licensed to ship to the patient and therefore must send the medications to your physician’s office where they can be dispensed to you legally. We will let you know if the medication ships to your home or doctor’s office.

Guidelines were developed by the FDA as well as the White House Office of National Drug Policy. Those guidelines are summarized as follows:

Do not flush any medication down a sink or toilet unless the packaging of the medication specifically instructs you to do so. Follow all specific disposal instructions as printed on the prescription drug label or accompanying patient information documentation.

Consult the blue pages of your phone book or contact your local city or county’s trash and recycling division to see verify if there are any drug take-back programs active in your neighborhood. There are several drug disposal programs that allow individuals to bring unused medications to their facility to be properly disposed of. In addition, the D.E.A. (The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) periodically works with local government agencies to sponsor drug take-back days.

If neither of these options are available to you (there is no drug take back program in your neighbourhood and there are no specific disposal instructions on the label) dispose of your unused medication with your other trash by following these simple steps.

Remove the medication from their containers and mix them with an undesired substance. eg. coffee or used cat litter. This makes the drugs unrecognizable to anyone who may search the trash for prescriptions and less appealing to pets or children.

Insert in a sealable container such as bag or empty can that will prevent leaks or spillage.

Remove all identifying information from the label of the original medication container. This will help protect your identity and personal information.

Do not provide your unused medication to friends or family members. Medications that have prescriptions are intended for specific use based on the person and medical history. Prescriptions that work for one person could be harmful to others. If a question arises, speak with your pharmacist.

For more information on the proper care and disposal of unused medications, consult the FDA website.

NiceRx has a dedicated refill team that is responsible for requesting your medication refills so you do not have to worry. Our dedicated refill team will request your medication refills before you run out.

Once you have received your last refill, we will notify you to re-enroll you into the program so that you continue to receive your medication from the pharmaceutical comapny. The re-enrollment process will require you to submit new documents, similar to when you first enrolled with NiceRx.

The FDA-approved prescription medications are supplied and delivered directly to you by the U.S. pharmaceutical companies. In most cases, a 90-day supply is dispensed at a time. The U.S pharmaceutical companies regularly deliver using services such as Fedex, UPS or USPS.

If you aren’t home, the courier will attempt to make a re-delivery at a later time or date.

Once your application is approved by the pharmaceutical company, we will notify you by email of the expected delivery date. If you do not receive the medication by that date, please contact us, and we will contact the pharmaceutical company.

NiceRx is not involved in deciding acceptance into the program, which is ultimately at the sole discretion of the pharmaceutical companies, and  NiceRx does not take responsibility for any delays with receiving your medications or rejection of your application.

In some cases, the pharmaceutical company will deliver a prescription card instead of the medication. You can use the card at your local pharmacy and you will not be charged by the pharmacy for the medication.

When you complete the enrollment, we will let you know immediately if you qualify for assistance. At that time, NiceRx will charge you for the first month’s service fee of $49 per eligible medication, and you will be billed $49 per eligible medication on a monthly basis on around 30 days from the initial billing date. You will not be charged for any medications we are unable to obtain for you.

We understand that you may wish to cancel should you find a more cost-effective alternative somewhere else. If you would like to have your membership cancelled, please send us a signed cancellation letter. We will initiate the cancellation of your medication within 14 days of receiving the signed cancellation letter. For our customers’ protection, we would not want to stop processing the application or refills without written notification from the customer.

You may be eligible for a full refund if:

• you have notified us in writing that you want to cancel within 14 days of enrollment and we have not yet sent the application documents to your doctor’s office, or;
• you have received a denial letter stating that you are not eligible to receive medication and have provided a copy of the denial letter to us within 60 days of its date, and do not want us to appeal the decision on your behalf.

If you are cancelling after receiving your medication delivery, you will be charged for the remaining supply of medication you received. For example, if you received a three-month supply of medication and cancelled after one month (and have a two months supply of medication remaining), you will be charged $98 for the remaining two months.

NiceRx is a service-based advocacy program. As we are not funded by any government organization, we need to charge a small monthly management fee to eligible individuals who can save money using our service. This fee covers the costs of our service, as well as any establishment costs.

If your payment is declined, we will attempt to bill you again at a later date and notify you by email so you can update your billing information or method of payment. The service will be on hold until your payment has been successfully received.

Unfortunately, insurance companies generally do not cover the cost of NiceRx’s service fees.

If you have been denied health insurance before and received a denial letter, you may need to submit proof of this denial letter in the application process.
