According to an article, “Free meds for the needy: Good policy or good PR?” in which author John Russell questions whether the magic bus traveling across the United States helping people to see if they qualify for prescription assistance programs is doing consumers any good:

…Last week, Indianapolis-based Lilly widened its program that provides free medications to the uninsured. The company said its Lilly Cares program will now accept people with incomes less than 300 percent of the poverty level, an increase from the previous 200 percent level, meaning the yearly eligible income limit for a family of two is about $44,000.

So if you did not meet income requirements previously, you might consider reapplying to Lilly’s programs under the new income guidelines.
