Solutions For Those Without Prescription Drug Insurance Coverage

Many U.S. citizens are faced with a real dilemma due to the high cost of prescription medication. The high drug cost of prescriptions and the need for prescription insurance is one problem that needs to be address by all people of this country. Many are forced to look elsewhere to find their prescriptions at an affordable price. People are left without a solution for the high cost of prescription medication and sometimes are uncertain of how they will be able to obtain their medication and still be able to eat and provide a roof over their head.

Many have looked to online pharmacies to reduce their cost and this can be a viable solution for some. But unfortunately there could be a lot of uncertainties when purchasing prescription drugs over the internet. The quality and the actual drugs can sometimes be in question. Not to say that you cannot get these prescription drugs over the internet but one may need to be cautious.

Another solution that patients have considered is Medicare Part D. Medicare Part D does cover many patients but from the many people that I talk to on a regulate basis many are realizing that there is a good possibility of hitting what is called the “doughnut hole”. The doughnut hole is where there maximum coverage has been reached and the patient has to come out of pocket for the cost of these prescriptions. Some of these prescriptions can be hundreds of dollars each per month. Since many people are on multiple prescriptions this can cost them many hundreds or even thousands of dollars just to cover the cost of their medications during this so called doughnut hole period This is causing many people stress and leaving them to search for other ways to obtain their prescription without going broke.

Fortunately there are other ways to assist patients in getting there prescription medications. Through the Patient Assistance Program patients can get their prescriptions shipped directly to their doctors’ office directly from the pharmaceutical companies. Many US citizens are unaware of the Patience Assistance Program. This law was put into effect over fifty years ago. This program provides people with Free Prescription Medication directly from the drug manufactures, enabling the patient to receive affordable and safe medication.

The process takes about four to six weeks to get all the paperwork approved by your doctor and the pharmaceutical companies. After that time all your prescription medications will be shipped directly to your doctor in a three month supply. Once approved you can be sure that you will receive your prescription medication without interruption for as long as you need.

So for those who are struggling with the high drug cost for prescription medications and do not have prescription insurance coverage, drug cards or other ways to obtain their prescription, the Patient Assistance Program might work for you. This program works directly with you, your doctor and the pharmaceutical companies to provide you with the drugs you need at an affordable cost,enabling you to stay healthy.
