[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 598551, member: 1233"] For medications if you have an rx already, you can go to the pharmaceutical companies and download forms to be in their patient assistance programs, or go to needymeds.org and they will have the forms and help filling them out if needed. These are for medications that are NOT on the cheap medications list at Walmart and other pharmacies. Here we have a local chain that does most of the WM list at $3 per month, which makes ti even cheaper than the $10 for 3 months that some places offer. Call around to the doctors and the county health department. Also contact the various churches in the area. Some have members that will see people for free as part of a church ministry and very few of these insist you attend their church or believe as they believe. The Catholic and Jewish Churches are esp great at providing medical care and psychiatric care for free. The psychological care (tdocs) do tend to have a more religious angle to their help, but for free you can tolerate a bit, in my opinion. In Utah I would ask what the Mormon Church offers as from what I have heard they can be incredibly generous. My mom has a childhood friend who married into the Mormon faith and some of their family members and friends are doctors and donate up to thirty hours a week on top of their regular for pay practices to help those with-o insurance. Some do this through their reg offices and others through various clinics. Other ways to get help with medications are to use various pharmacy discount cards that are for those with no insurance. You can usually find these for free online or through varous groups that provide discount medical care or urgent care. Our urgent care clinics always have at least 2 different discount pharmacy cards that are free. Around here the gas and electric companies also have these discount cards and you can get them in their offices or through links on their websites. For other care, they should go and apply at the dept of human services (DHS) office in their area. They may or may not qualify for medicaid for the adults, but for kids the income level limits are VERY generous, at least here. [/QUOTE]
