Thanks for the sites Sbw.. I take Diovan, which is one of my more expensive drugs. I've downloaded an application for that together-rx and am going to send it in! Thanks again {{Hugs}}

Military veterans can get their prescriptions filled through the VA at a very reasonable cost ... I think it's $7 per prescription. I believe the prescriptions can be written by the veteran's regular doctor. My ex-husband recently applied for this program ... he was in the Navy from 1952-1956 and does not have any military-related disability.

Hi All,

I saw it mentioned above that the Drug Companies help people out. I know in 91' I had to take a very expensive medication and my insurance wouldn't cover it. I called the Pharm. Company and they helped me right away. They sent some forms to my Dr to be filled out. Then they would mail my medication to the Dr.s ofc for me.

UPDATE!!
I got my TogetherRX card in the mail today. I am in the process of finding out if my pharmacy will accept it. According to the website, I would only have to pay $12 a month for my prescription of Diovan which last time I filled it was about $120.78 for 3 months worth. Anyway, I'll let you know what they say.. :)

Sounds too good to be true, mga. I hope it is true. That will be a big help to you. Do let us know if you get in a really bad situation before the husband gets another job. There are people here who can and will help. And when you get in a better situation, you can help somebody else.

I just got verification that the price will be $12, and it's even for 34 pills instead of 30! It looks like I will only be able to order one month at a time, but I can deal with that! Woo-hoo.

**edit**
PS A BIG THANKS and HUGS to all of you that posted these links above. It was well worth checking it out!

Wonderful, Mygetaway! It's amazing how a little information can help out so many people. I am still waiting to hear on mom's meds, but she qualifies on every one. I'm sure it will be OK. I am sooooo glad I asked this question. I was hesitant to do so, but should have known TVCHers would have the answer. I can't thank everyone enough! Much love to all.

Just a bump to the top. I've referred some people to this site for the links. Didn't want it to get lost at the bottom.
