"The patient must have no prescription coverage for the medication"
Take a look at those pages again. Many have this requirement, no insurance for the med. Like if your insurance will not cover a med or you caped out.
Having insurance, in many cases, does not disqualify you from a Patient Assistant Program.
It is about not having access to the med.There are usually several programs for each drug, so scroll down to see all the programs:

I know some people who use this, they have made exceptions to their requirements. Things like, if you have a lot of medical bills every year they would consider your income less the medical expenses.
From http://www.needymeds.org :
"If you do not exactly fit the criteria, for any reason, the dosage listed is not yours or you have questions, call the program. Some programs will make exceptions and dosages change often.
