Hi @grannydee and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I am so sorry that you are having so much trouble trying to get medication for Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. I know @ryanmary3341 was misdiagnosed at first with EPI. I wonder if she has any insight to the medication portion?
Is it Creon that they prescribed you? I know they have a support program to help people who are struggling to pay for the medication. https://www.creon.com/creon-support-programs

Have you looked into GoodRx, geniusRx or single care?

I was prescribed Zenpep and it actually is the first med that has EVER given me relief. Apparently the company that owns it is Nestle~ and they have some type of “discount” card but it is not available to Medicare enrollee’s.
The good rx program is also beyond my means. My scrip plan is with Cigna and they do not cover this med. I filed an appeal and they sent me a flat denial via a prerecorded message.
I am now going to try another program called patientassistancetoday.com
I hope to hear from them tomorrow and will update this post accordingly.
