Programs for cheap meds

I recently read this article about people who are forced to skip doses or split their meds because they cannot afford the medication. Med compliance is so important, especially for our HF patients. If you have someone that might need help with the costs of meds, here a few internet sources:

• Patient Assistance Programs - www.rxhope.com
• NeedyMeds - www.needymeds.org
• Patient Assistance Programs - www.patientassistance.com
• Patient Advocate Foundation - www.patientadvocate.org
• Partnership for Prescription Assistance - www.pparx.org

On the side bar on the lower right hand side of the blog, I have a list of links to the low-cost programs from Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, and Costco.
