Is there help to pay for medicine

I am on procrit. I do have insurance but couldnot pay the copay. Healthwell Foundation is covering my cost of procrit. My pharmacist worked through this with me. I had to fax them tax info, etc., but it was a fairly easy and quick process. They are easy to find on the internet. just google healthwell foundation and you will get there.
