As Advocacy for Patients finds new resources, we will share them with you by posting links here.
I recently met a long-time patient advocate who specializes in prescription drug patient assistance programs. She has given me the following links:
www.familiesusa.org - mostly Medicare, but excellent info on the new Medicare drug benefit.
www.needymeds.com - will help patients access patient assistance programs that can result in free meds for patients who can't afford their meds or insurance.
www.themedicineprogram.com - again, this organization helps to obtain free prescription drugs for patients in need through various patient assistance programs.
www.freemedsandsolutions.com - will help patients access patient assistance programs.
www.together-rx.com - a discount program for prescription drugs. Just make sure your meds are on their list.
www.pparx.org - bringing together pharmaceutical companies, doctors, other health care providers, patient advocacy organizations and community groups to help qualifying patients.
www.rxhope.com - research government and corporate sponsored patient assistance programs for over 1000 medications.
WeHelpMeds - another place for help with prescription drug patient assistance programs.
