You could ask your doctor if you could qualify for the Patient Assistance Program. This is where certain pharmaceutical companies can for a specified time frame provide specific medications without charge for a person without health insurance. Find the website for the names of the medications you are taking. Then you can see if the companies who make them participate in this program.
Is there a way to get cash assistance from the state without your bf getting put on child support ?
com This is the mfg web site for the patient prescription program. They will send you an application which you and your physician fill out and return. They send you a four month supply each shipment. Then you just give a refill paper to your doc to sign and they fax in your refills. A new application is done once a year. I know this because I have been doing this for years.

Yup, the meds are relatively pricey. The phone numbers listed are patient assistance programs sponsored by the manufacturers. They are income based as opposed to asset based; and will probably ask for last years federal tax forms to confirm income. They are actually fairly generous; they don’t require a patient to be indigent to qualify for help. Ask the doctor for Rx information, and then give them a call to see where you fall financially.
The social worker at the dialysis center will assist the patient with the application process and everything is billed directly after that. I have never heard of anyone coming out of pocket for dialysis. I am sure someone will set me straight if I am incorrect.
We were at our local Childrens hospital last night to have a very large one drained. She was on Zyvox during Thanksgiving and we were free of abscesses for 3 weeks. That is the longest she has gone without having one. We have seen an Infectious Disease doctor that doesn't offer us much hope in getting these to go away.
