Paying for your seizure pills with no insurance?

Sun, 05/13/2012 - 13:07
Hello, Living without insurance should not even be an issue in america but some how it is and the people who need it the most is suffering without it, some of us with epilepsy can do alot if only we had our medicine everyday on time but alot of us are not blessed enough to have the money or insurance to refill our medicine when it runs out and the state denies most of us disability if only the state would provide us with the medicine most of us wouldn't need disability because we would be capable of working and going to school or driving and taking care of our families who ever has went thru it im sure you know how frustrating this is, if anyone knows a program that helps you with medicine i would like to know because i am about to graduate college soon and i dont know if the place im going to will have insurance so any help will be great thank you!

I use a company RX Speciality.  If  you want you can email me for their info.

They charge you for filling out the paperwork per quarter per med and follow up like clockwork on the paperwork.  The pharma companies will sometimes "donate" meds if you fall under a certain income level which is darn near living in a cardboard box.

Depending on how many meds you are on, it helps a LOT and the charge is nominal for them to keep track of everything.
