When Your Diabetes is Just Too Expensive

Note that anyone eligible for Together Rx Access may also qualify for additional savings on prescription medicines, or even free medicines, through other patient assistance programs run by the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA). That one is "a clearinghouse for more than 475 public and private assistance programs, including 180 offered by pharmaceutical companies." Part of the PPA's mission is also to connect people to free health clinics in their community.

Not surprisingly in this economy, people are rushing to sign up for Together Rx Access in droves, at a rate of 10,000 new people every week, they tell me. In May, the group reached a milestone of 1.5 million cardholders. If you're interested, visit the Together Rx Access web site, or call 1-800-966-0407.

All I can do is cross my fingers that posting this here will help some PWDs obtain what they need to take care of their health.
