jrselmo72I have just recently diagnosed as having HIV/AIDS and my ID doc prescribed Atripla.I am in the process of applying for SS Disability and Medicaid and am told I will not be turned down. In the meantime I am not able to afford the med d/t cost of over $1800 for 30 day supply. Is there any help with paying for the prescription until I get help? The HIV/AIDS support group in OK where I am does not help with meds cause of where I live. Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

There are some resources for obtaining meds you cant afford. You may first want to ask your pharmacist who manufactures the medicine and ask if they have a contact phone number for this manufacturer or google the name of the manufacturer to find out if they have a patient assistance program, many do. If that is a no go I have other resources. CoPay relief Program 1-866-512-3861 or www.copay.org; Suddenly Senior (you dont have to be a senior to use) www.suddenlysenior.com/patientassistantprograms.html; Needy Meds www.needymeds.org; Partnership for Prescription Assistance 1-888-477-2669 or www.pparx.org. Hope one of these helps!
