Lilly Cares Foundation is closely monitoring the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We do not anticipate shortages of Eli Lilly and Company medications provided for those in our patient assistance program (PAP).

If your job was affected by the COVID-19 crisis, you may qualify for the Lilly Cares PAP to receive your prescribed Lilly medication for free. Read eligibility details on this website and call us at 1-800-545-6962 with questions. Please include a brief letter with your application explaining your change in income.

At this time, only submit your application using our online submission process or via fax using the fax number located on the bottom of the application form. Please do not mail your application.

Annual re-enrollment for Medicare Part D patients is now open. To continue receiving medication through Lilly Cares, Medicare Part D patients must reapply and meet program eligibility requirements. Re-enrollment applications are being mailed to patients and Healthcare Providers. For questions about the Medicare Part D re-enrollment process, please contact Lilly Cares at 1-800-545-6962 .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Eligibility Questions

  • When looking at your insurance card, words like “Medicare”, “Medicare Advantage”, “Medicare Replacement”, or “Medicare Rx” would indicate Medicare insurance.

  • Patients with healthcare cost sharing plans are eligible for assistance as these are not health insurance plans, but are voluntary sharing among members for eligible health expenses.

  • If your medication is not listed or you don't meet the Lilly Cares eligibility requirements, please refer to the Medicine Assistance Tool website for additional resources.

Next Steps Questions

  • Yes. To remain in the program, you must reapply at the end of your enrollment period. You can reapply up to 60 days before your current enrollment end date. When applying for re-enrollment, please use the newest version of the application (available online).

  • Applications are processed in the order they are received. If the application is complete, it will be processed in about three to five business days. If the application is missing information or if additional information is needed, this can delay processing time.

  • If your healthcare provider has changed, your new healthcare provider will need to submit the "Healthcare Provider" section of the application, including the signed consent, for each of the medications you receive through Lilly Cares.

  • Please call Lilly Cares Patient Assistance Program at 1-800-545-6962.

  • Patients enrolled in Lilly Cares receive a 120-day supply of medication in each shipment unless a greater/lesser amount is requested by their healthcare provider or provided per program guidelines.

  • No. Medications from the Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program are shipped directly to patients or healthcare providers by contracted pharmacies.

  • If medication is being delivered to your home, a Lilly Cares Pharmacy agent will call to schedule your first shipment. If it's being delivered to your healthcare provider, please coordinate with your healthcare provider's office on pickup instructions. If you've opted-in to text messages, the Lilly Cares Pharmacy will send a text message letting you know your medication has shipped.

  • The Lilly Cares Pharmacy will call you to schedule medication shipment. If your medication is not temperature controlled, it will be delivered by ground within three to five business days once shipment is scheduled for delivery. If your medication is temperature controlled, it will be delivered by Next Day Air once the shipment is scheduled for delivery.

  • No. Lilly Cares provides free Lilly medications, including shipping, for patients who meet program eligibility requirements.

  • If you are receiving a temperature controlled medication, then an adult signature will be required.

  • Medication refills can be provided approximately 30 days before you have used your current medication supply.

  • The patient is responsible for ensuring medication refills, though Lilly Cares has tools in place to make it easier. Patients have the option of signing up for our auto-refill program, which will automatically fill most medications when due for a refill. If you've opted-in to text messages, a text message will be sent when your medication has shipped. Auto-refills will stop at the end of your program enrollment period. If you are not enrolled in auto-refill, you must request a refill of your existing prescription by calling one of the Lilly Cares pharmacies:

    RxCrossroads Pharmacy by calling 1-855-735-4486 for the medications Alimta®, Baqsimi®, Basaglar®, Cialis®, Cymbalta®, Cyramza®, Emgality®, Erbitux®, Evista®, Glucagon™, Humalog®, Humulin®, Lyumjev™, Portrazza®, Prozac®, Strattera®, Trulicity®, Zyprexa®, and Zyprexa® Zydis®.

  • Lilly Cares offers automatic refills for most medications. Patients have the option of signing up for our auto-refill program, which will automatically fill medication when it's due for a refill. When there are zero refills remaining, the healthcare provider will be contacted for a prescription renewal before the next refill due date. Auto-refills will stop at the end of the patient's program enrollment period. If the medication is no longer needed, contact Lilly Cares at 1-800-545-6962.

  • Uninsured patients will receive medication through the duration of their enrollment period. Medicare Part D patients enrollment period expires at the end of the calendar year. Due to program guidelines, the last medication refill of the calendar year may be a lesser amount than typically provided.

  • If your medication doesn't come with a needle, you will need to get the needles at your local pharmacy.

  • Your healthcare provider will need to submit a new prescription noting the prescription change to the Lilly Cares Patient Assistance Program.
