"As a Chronic Care nurse one of the biggest hurdles that I find in taking care of my patients is that of compliance with their medications. When you have a patient who has battled a condition for so long and now they finally found a medication that works for them and they want so badly to take that medication so they can feel like a real human being again, it is very refreshing. However, when they come back saddened and tell you that there is no way they can pay $800/month for 1 medication it just breaks your heart. When it’s a compliance issue because they can’t organize their meds or swallow their meds or even get to the pharmacy to get their meds, those are all easy problems to fix. However, when it comes to the issue that they can’t afford their meds then all the walls go up and sometimes when a patient has so many other hurdles to jump the fact that their medication is just too costly is the last straw and they just don’t have it in them to jump that hurdle.
I cannot thank NPC enough for helping me breakdown the walls for our patient. It means so much to me to know that there are others out there that care as much as I do that people get the help they need. If you’ve never had to take a life-saving medication before, good for you! But when you see people changed and better because of a medication it just makes you so grateful that there are people like the group at NPC that can help you find the resources to help you to get that medication.
NPC has renewed my fight for my patients and the things they need. The story about the one degree difference is water temperature to make steam, and steam can power a locomotive really hit home to me. Sometimes we just have to keep pursuing and keep pushing until we find the answer because it literally could save someone. "

"I have Medicare Part D and I had reached my doughnut hole. My bill kept increasing at the pharmacy each month and I couldn’t afford it. We are on a fixed income. My wife has cancer and we are out a lot of expenses taking her for treatments. I looked up how to get help with my medications and found this program. I am not real good at using computers so I called their number. A nice lady answered the phone and I told her what I needed help with. I had 5 medicines that I take every month. I was now having to pay over $300 dollars a month because I was in the gap or donut hole. She found programs for all 5. I got the information in the mail within a week and took it to my doctor. I mailed it in with my prescriptions and In less than 3 weeks I had 4 of my medications and they were 3 month supplies. It came in the mail. I got the last one within a week and I don’t know how to thank Nationwide Prescription Connection. I will receive them in 3 months supplies for a year! I will save over $3500.00."

"I was having a hard time paying for my birth control injection and a close friend of mine told me about Nationwide Prescription Connection. I called them and asked if they could help me. I don’t have much income as I was only making a little over minimum wage. I have private insurance through my employer but I couldn’t afford the copay. I use Depo- Provera Injection and it was over $100 every time I filled it. That doesn’t seem like much, but when you don’t have much left after bills and necessities, it is a lot. I gave my basic information and they told me I qualified for a free-program. I was nervous because I had never heard of anyone getting their medicine for free. I felt I had no choice but to try. They sent me the program form in the mail and I took that and my proof of income to my doctors office. He faxed it to the program and within the month they had sent my injection straight to the doctors office. I was amazed. It is time for my doctors visit again and when I called to confirm my appointment the nurse said my injection is already waiting for me. And it was free! Thank you Nationwide Prescription Connection"
