Program/Service Notes:

Free prescription medicine is now available to those individuals who lack adequate income to fill their prescriptions each month.

Some of the guidelines to qualify require that the applicant must:
   1. Not be eligible for government assistance (e.g., Medicaid),
   2. Not have private insurance which pays for outpatient medicine,
   3. Find it a hardship to purchase his/her prescriptions drugs at retail.

     In cooperation with the physician, they assist patients who may qualify to enroll in one or more of the many patient assistance programs now available. These programs provide prescription medicine free-of-charge to individuals in need, regardless of age, if they meet the sponsor's criteria.  If you are approved and enrolled, your medication will be sent to your doctor and he will dispense it to you. If the program's sponsor approves your application, you will receive your medication at no charge. 

    To begin application process, write them a letter including: 
       1. The name, address and phone number of the person taking the medication. 
       2. The name of his/her medication(s). 
       3. The name of your doctor who prescribes the medication. 
       4. A $5.00 processing fee for each medication requested, payable to The Medicine Program.  

     The funds necessary to support this program and distribute these informational materials are provided by the $5.00 processing fees contributed by the applicants.  The Medicine Program guarantees a full processing fee refund upon written request, to any applicant who receives no medication and is determined to be ineligible for assistance by all applicable manufacturers.  All refund requests must include a copy of each manufacturers letter indicating the applicant has been determined ineligible for assistance. Refund requests must be made within 90 days after original application is made to The Medicine Program.  

     Immediately after receiving the information and fee, they will respond to you by return mail. One of the items will be a letter addressed to your doctor. This letter provides your doctor with information about this program and requests his/her cooperation. The doctor's letter will also provide an access number to your particular program sponsor. You should read, sign and forward the doctor's letter to him/her immediately after you have received and read it.
