NEWS RELEASE FROM THE HIGHLAND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OFFICE April 23, 2009 $10 Brand Name medications - Never go without or split your pills again As a result of layoffs at the Wilmington Airpark and the general downturn of the economy causing many businesses to cut-back or close, thousands of Highland County residents lost their health and prescription drug coverage when they lost their jobs. People in Highland County who are uninsured can now receive medication for $10 per prescription per month. There is no age limit, no application fees, no other medication fees, and no hidden costs. Prescription Hope has been serving the uninsured population for over 8 years. They offer a solution for uninsured and underinsured individuals, families, disabled people, and seniors on Medicare, to one of the most difficult problems in the health care system today, providing affordable access to prescription medication. "Through special relationships with over 80 US based Pharmaceutical Companies, Prescription Hope has access to over 1,500 Brand Name medications (no generics). This is not a discount card, or insurance product and excludes those with Medicaid," says Doug Pierce founder of the company. Patients receive their medications in a three-month supply directly from the pharmaceutical companies. Included are commonly prescribed medications for arthritis, allergies, asthma, aids, cancer, hypertension, depression and cholesterol. With nearly 6,014 individuals in Highland County who cannot afford their daily medication, Prescription Hope is here to help. Eligible applicants cannot earn more than $20,800 for individuals or $31,000 for couples annually. Qualifications increase with dependence in household. If you or anyone you know needs help affording the high cost of prescription drugs or you are a doctor's office, hospital, or clinic you are encouraged to call toll-free 1-877-296-HOPE (4673) or go online to www.prescriptionhope.com to learn more about the program and to download an application. |
