Need help paying for medicine?
If you or someone you care about has trouble paying for medication, there is help. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance is a coalition of drug companies, health care professionals, patient advocacy organizations and community groups.
This website is a portal to almost 500 public and private patient assistance programs.
If you are not eligible for these programs, you can still save money on your meds by consulting cost-comparison charts at Rxaminer.
Consumer Reports also has helpful information in their Shoppers Guide to Prescription Drugs series.
And psychologist Ken Pope, Ph.D., has put together a collection of resources for finding affordable health insurance as well as free or low-cost medicine.

Although the Partnership for Prescription Assistance is a good resource, I want to let you know about NeedyMeds.com (http://www.needymeds.com).
We have information on over 1000 programs helping those in need obtain their medications and healthcare. Our data is free, updated regularly, and easy to access.

Thanks, Rich. NeedyMeds.com is included in Ken Pope's website, which is linked to this blog entry.
