Thank you all for the information, very helpful :)
i am looking for a way to pay my ficance’s medical bills. He has a month before they take him to court for those bills. We have talk to them many time and said that we would pay payment to them, the first time it was a 50.00 dollars a month and that they need to send a bill payment to us so we would know where to send the payment — they said no. the next couple of time it was a 100.00 dollars a month they wanted 6000.00 right there. We said we could do that — we was poor — they said cant you get a loan. — which we cant. the last time we said we would send them 10% of each check that we got and again it was no they want to be payied in full. please we need help and i have 5 kids to take care of.
You can find info on drug coupons and patient assistance programs at http://www.pharmacydrugguide.com
Hi Susan,
Thanks for sharing. The site you mention has some good information describing drugs and side effects and Patient Assistance Programs. I notice it does not provide any coupons or tell what Patient Assistance Programs are available or how to apply for them.
Try calling a legal hotline at 800-285-2221. You can talk to a legal aid lawyer by phone to ask about legal questions or problems. The lawyers are usually experts in the types of problems that poor clients most often encounter.
