The Medicare Doughnut Hole

[Guest guest]

Hi Mark,

OK here's my thoughts: Drop AARP and look into picking up Medco. (You are

eligible because you're getting Medicare) Medco was the first to start in

California about 8 years ago, and proved to be good for Medicare enrollees and

now can people with Medicare can choose Medco for prescription needs through

Part D. https://host1.medcohealth.com/consumer/site/home

or call them at 1 - 800-758-4531, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Here's another link for info

For immediate needs, tell you doctor what's going on and he/she may be able to

give samples for the immediate present, also some of the drug companies offer

" Patient Assistance Programs " . http://www.rxassist.org/

Also look into http://www.freemedicinefoundation.com/

and http://www.freemedicinerevolution.com/index.php

and http://www.needymeds.org/ (in Gloucester, Mass) and one more

https://www.pparx.org/

I just scanned our message archives for " free medications " and up comes 129

messages, so you might want to scroll through them as I think somewhere, someone

had a need for free meds.
