You can also call vocational rehabilitation in your area to check for assistance. They gave me a list of pharmacuetical manufacturers that have an indigent patient program for assistance. Abit of paper work but well worth persuing. I also had to coax my doc's secretary/assistant just a bit because they have to do paper work to activate the plan.
Many Doctors have a patient assistance program: They don't nesessarily inform their patients unless the Patients asks.
My doc gives me samples to help supplement the cost.
One last bit of info I felt kind of afraid to ask because I have a lot of pride but thats ok, I had to swallow a chunk of it
Good luck Dave C
