HCFA Makes Drug Assistance Directory Available

Wed, 11/22/2000 - 12:00am — Karen Stevenson
Description: 

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) has published a directory of programs that provide assistance with drug costs on its Medicare.gov site. The directory allows you to select a state and zip code, as well as manufacturers and diseases and conditions you are especially interested in. It then provides a list of drug assistance programs that fit these criteria, along with contacts and frequently asked questions. The database is still evolving and does not include all programs yet, but the tool provides one way to see if assistance is available for the cost of pharmaceuticals. For other programs and directories, see ElderWeb's Drug Cost page.
