drug help

[neilb]

Not sure if this is the right subject area, but it's the closest I could figure. My sister asked me to find out if there are "legitimate" discount drug sites that might be helpful to our Mom, who is on (among other things) abilify, which is running her $500 per month (in the middle of the Medicare donut). Any ideas? Thanks!--Neil

Don't know about abilify but some drug companies offer help with the cost of chemos. In those cases, the doctor has to initiate the request. But you can go online to the company who makes abilify and see if they have such a program. If so, you can download the required forms and give them to her doctor with the request that he/she file them for your Mom.

Oh yeah - that's a BMS drug and I know some folks that work there, so I know they definitely have a big charity arm of their company.
