PRESCRIPTION DRUG INFORMATION BY THE HEALTH MINISTRY TEAM

Are you in need of help covering the cost of prescription drugs? During these challenging economic times, many people are unemployed and/or have no health insurance. This leads to healthcare taking a backseat to paying the bills and buying food. Several pharmaceutical companies have a free program called TogetherRxAccess which is a medication assistance program. They have recently changed their income guidelines to:
                                                   $45,000 for a single person

                                                   $60,000 for a family of 2

                                                   $75,000 for a family of 3

                                                   $90,000 for a family of 4

                                                   $105,000 for a family of 5

Other guidelines are: you must be a legal resident of the United States, have no public or private prescription coverage, and not qualify for Medicare.

 

If you qualify, you can save 25-40% on more than 300 brand name prescriptions that you fill at your local pharmacy. Savings are also available on generic medications. To enroll for this program go to www.togetherrxaccess.com or call 1-800-250-2839.
