Medication Help

Help for patients who lack prescription coverage for medicines they need may now be easier to access. A new coalition, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, brings together pharmaceutical companies, doctors, advocacy organizations, and others to help qualifying patients access more than 475 public and private patient assistance programs, which offer over 2,500 medications. To see if this coalition can help direct you to a program, call toll-free at 1-888-477-2669 or log onto VDF's Web site at www.vdf.org and click the left side tab, "Resources."
