Links

We recognize that there is already a wealth of information about diabetes available on the internet and so, rather than repeat what can be found elsewhere, we have provided links (in the right hand menu) to other reputable websites we consider to be of value to people with diabetes.

While every care has been taken only to provide links to professionally operated websites, we cannot be responsible for their content and advise users to exercise caution whenever viewing material from other sources.  Please be aware that some of the links are to websites based in the UK and France where some diabetes treatments and drug names are different to those used in the USA.

 

Medical Assistance Programs -

During these tough economic times, many individuals are struggling
to cover the cost of their medications. Pharmaceutical companies
are moving to help lessen the burden by easing the eligibility
requirements for patient assistance programs. For instance Merck,
the maker of Januvia™ for diabetes and Singulair® for asthma, has
increased the income eligibility to 400 percent of the federal poverty
level. This would allow an individual with an annual household
income of $43,320 to qualify. Other patient assistance programs:

Together RX Access®: eligibility starts at $45,000 for single persons and $105,000 for a family of five. This program is for legal residents who lack private or public prescription coverage. Over 300 drugs are discounted 25%-40%. They can be found on the web at: www.togetherrxaccess.com  or by phone: 800-444-4106.

Rx Outreach®: provides generic medications to anyone with a US mailing address whose income is less than 300% of the federal poverty level. They can be found on the web at: www.rxoutreach.com  or by phone: 800-769-3880.

RxAssist: www.RxAssist.org  phone (401) 729-3284 and the Partnership for Prescription Assistance www.pparx.org  (888) 477-2669 are clearinghouses for patient assistance programs. If you have applied before and been denied you may now qualify.
