Topic Wants: Patient Assistance Sites for Medicine

[sllowe]

SarahL asked for a good list for patient medicine assistance sites. I came across pparx and tried it out. Type the name of your medicine you need help in the box (link should bring you to page with a box - I typed in Provigil in the search term using drug name), and it brought up the company's program, and I also tried it with Avonex....  Quicker than linking a whole host of individual websites!

Play around with it, and let me know if it has the medicines you are looking for.

Above link to Medicine assistant site.......Type in the name, and up comes the assistance program link.
Great one-stop site so you don't have to go to dig the net for each med you are on...

Giving this an ol' fashion bump!
This is a great site folks.

This site no longer has up to date information for Provigil, for example..  No one covers it, but many insurance companies have lowered the cost.  It cost me $225 a month last year and this year is down to $85 a month.

There are also clauses about medicare bumping you off their lists and so on, so read the fine print and save some time later.

That fine print is critical...... And, everyone's have changed unfortunately and not for the good.
