A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about prescription assistance or medication help.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Prescription Assistance and Patient Assistance Programs program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Varies by program; most target low-income/uninsured, US residents?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Website 24/7; helpline Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see search needymeds.org by drug name or diagnosis; call helpline Mon-Fri 9am-5pm.
Thank you so much for your help.
