Q: No perscription Insurance.

My brother has no perscription insurance and his doctor perscribed Enberal for him.  He was given a sample to see if it would help with his RA.  It helped a lot.  Unfortunately he can't pay for it.  He misses work from his hand hurting and swelling.  We are afraid his boss just might let him go if this continues.  Does any one know where he might get some assistance for this?

alot of times the drug companies can help out with the cost of medications.  Go to the enbrel web site.

Thank you.  He tried that and was denied.  They said he makes too much money.  It would take 3 paychecks to pay for one months supply.  without it he won't be able to work because of the swelling and pain.  It;s a vicious circle.

I have the same problem, I applied online at dentalplans.com.yes I know dental plan? but they offer alot of policies, many which include a precription discount and it list each doctor that accepts them ( who couldn't use a dental discount too) and pharmacy you can even look up each drug you are taking and which pharmacy and it will tell you the price of  the drug. It does cost to join but it is cheap mine was $105 for 15 months. I have already saved that on prescription alone with in the first month and it is cheaper that missing work all the time. good luck hope it helps
