Avatar m tn could anyone give me ideas as to where or who i would contact to get some patient assistance for acute hep c treatment? I am not working, cannot wait on s.s. disability. I try to do some construction work when available, but it is really rough.
Avatar n tn t really have that much to lose. Duragesic is perfect for a cancer patient but really is not ideal for a person who is planing on getting off of it.
Avatar n tn I recently applied and was accepted in a Patient Assitantance Program for the Duragesic Patch. I see a Nurse Practioner in a county run program for the Psych medication. Tuesday I started talk therapy at a local university. It is free and the therapist is a senior in their counseling dept. who is getting her clinical time in. This is what is available to me at this time. I have been suspecting that some or a great portion of this horrid depression is in some way connected to the patch.
1312494 tn?1273749561 I also was going to suggest you contact the manufacturer of the patch that you have - I know there are a couple of different companies that make them. When I was using the patch, mine was the Duragesic brand and they offered a patient assistance program that gave me my patches for free. It's actually quite easy to apply for these programs, or at least that one was - I simply had to have my doctor fill out a form saying what my dosage was and how many boxes she prescribed at a time.
Avatar f tn I have been going to pain management for awhile because of bulging discs in my thoratic spine and was on tramadol and various other medications gabapentin etc. .. well yhe tramafol stopped working higher doses would be bad. So I was put on amatryptaline and nambutol ( spelling is off for sure ). I've been on anti inflamitory medications before prednisone ect and have had no relief from any of these.
Avatar f tn a) check with your local hospital to see if they have a patient assistance/charity program. If your husband requires surgery and does not have insurance, he may qualify for this. Of course, that would ONLY cover the hospital costs, and not the doctor fees, medication, etc., but it would be something b) If your husband is not able to work any longer due to his medical condition, check into applying for Social Security Disability.
564735 tn?1263943526 I was just wondering if anyone has used duragesic pain patches. My oncologist is recommending I use these patches from ongoing pain from tumors. I am a little nervous about using the patches but I am also over the pain. The pain has restricted my lifestyle. Going to go the grocery store or running errands has become difficult and I am no longer able to go to the gym. Has anyone had problems with these patches? If you used the patches, how long did you use them?
199177 tn?1490498534 I was reading the post about suboxone prices ,someone wanted to know if the was any assistance for the cost . I did some research this is what I found RECKITT BENCKISER suboxone patient assistance programs 1-866-512-2216 I don't know what are the guidelines but its worth a call . Any little bit I am sure would be very helpful. If I find anything else I will post it.
Avatar f tn Chronic pain patient for 7 years, diagnosed with spondylolisthesis when I was 18. Have had 3 back surgeries, including 2 laminectomies and a fusion at L5-S1. Had 20 good years post fusion but now the pain is back with a vengance. 80% chance that I will be worse off with more surgery. Followed protocol at PM clinic, graduated to Duragesic patches 100 and 25 mcg for TWO years/they are no longer working ( took them every 72 hrs until 1 month ago when dr. switched me to every 48 hrs.
1622229 tn?1299050798 I wanted to share some encouraging news for people who have Chronic Hep B and have financial difficulty affording Baraclude. I contacted Brystol Myers Squibb and applied for the Patient Assistance Program. The website and application is here: http://www.bms.com/products/Pages/programs.aspx It took about a week and they have approved me to receive the medication and are shipping it to my home.

Avatar f tn This is my understanding of the patient assistance programs for Incivek. The list price, which no patient will have to end up paying, is $49,200 for 12 weeks. HOWEVER, the patient assistance programs, are more than generous. Typical Co-pay for the three prescriptions that will be needed will be between $50 and $250 each.
1713494 tn?1327519682 Would your local mental health service have access to that information? Maybe whereever you go for governement assistance (financially) they may have some info. Have you tried a google search?
Avatar f tn Without the patient assistance program I probably wouldn't be SVR - when my insurance refused to let me extend, they coudln't have made it easier and didn't even make me feel bad about needing them to help.
Avatar n tn I am also on Copaxone - can I suggest that you talk with them again at Shared Solutions and ask what criteria they use for patient assistance? They fund for people without insurance or underinsured through NORD - national organization of rare disease. Unfortunately it sometimes takes more than one phone call to connect with the right people at SS to get help. If you can't work it out with SS you might talk to your neurologist about other options.
