PASTIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Since we have many new members & this info has been asked for again, I thought I would repost the sites & other info. According to the paperwork I have this was revised on 3/04 so it is "fairly" updated, but to be sure check with any that you are interested in. I know that some of the companies were talking about discontinuing or at least cutting back on the programs since Medicaire Part D was implemented. Unforunately for the younger CFers Medicare isnt any option yet so here goes....its quite lenthy, but I feel quite informative!
