Re: financial help for PWPs-- On June 21, 1995, Anne Martin <[log in to unmask]> wrote as follows: <snips> " There are very good but little known programs within all the major pharma. companies to provide free meds to PWP meeting the financial guidelines set by each company..The doctor (read nurse) calls the 800# of the company and asks for the 'Indigent Patient' program...the company sends the doctor their form....half filled out by family stating their financial status, the rest done by the doctor stating diagnosis, etc. It is sent back to company with a 3 or 6 month Rx. If patient qualifies, company sends med to doctor to give to the patient. This can continue for life, so long as paperwork is repeated halfway through each period, and patient continues to qualify. If your doctor does not know about this, he can get a list free from --Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Assn.,1100 Fifteenth St N.W., Washington,DC 20005, or 1-800-PMA-INFO " I hope this is helpful to you and to others on the list.
