The Free Clinic utilizes several resources to help patients meet their medication needs at little to no cost whenever possible.  A Pharmacy Services Coordinator, Danielle Eavers, works with physicians to coordinate medication resources to maximize assistance for the patient. 

  Samples
The Free Clinic maintains a supply of sample medications which providers may dispense during clinic visits. Fortunately, our sample medications meet many of our patients' short term medication needs as well as helping a patient with an initial supply of medication he/she will be taking for a longer period.


Patient Assistance Programs
Patients who require long term pharmaceutical care may qualify to receive their medications at no cost through one of the pharmaceutical companies. Applications are processed at the Free Clinic.
Prescriptions
If the Clinic is unable to meet a patient's needs in one of the above ways a prescription will be written. Patients receive a prescription card, much like those provided by insurance companies. The card allows the patients to have generic medications filled for a $2-$8 co-pay depending upon the medication's cost.  Patients may purchase brand name medications but are fully responsible for the cost. Participating pharmacies are: Owen's Pharmacy in Clifton Forge and Hot Springs Pharmacy in Hot Springs.

 

Some Medicare Recipients Eligible

As of July 1, 2000 Medicare recipients whose incomes are such that Medicaid is required to cover Medicare costs became eligible for medication assistance through the Free Clinic.
