i do not think that is possible anymore. You're better off to educate yourself and maintain health thru nutrician and supplements. There are many resources out there thus keeping medical costs to a minimum.

Hello, if you live in California, Blue Cross has a plan called "Tonik". It covers medical, emergency visits, doctor visits, dental and vision. Rates are lower than most health plans because they only advertise this plan on the internet. You may want to check it out. Good luck.\n\nhttp://lamontinsurance.com/tonik/tonik.health.html\n\nhttp://lamontinsurance.com/tonik/tonik.chart.html

Your best shot is to contact the pharmacy company distributing it to see if they have any programs to assist in the purchase. Often, they have a few.\n\n This must all be followed with a doctors perscription, of course.

Are you buying your own plan or are you employed? Employer based insurance is usually the best and the cheapest.\nIndividual policies are okay the thing is as you add more things to it the price goes up. There are tons of of websites offering "the best insurance" but this is what you need:\nLow deductible, Low inpatient stay deductible/copay.\nReasonable pharmacy plan if it's offered with the medical.\nDo they cover your annual exams for both you and the baby, some individual plans don't.\nDo they cover baby vaccines. \nLabs and radiology is there a copay? Some radiology tests may on different plans.\nBirth Control what products are covered, if any? (after you deliver)\n\nAt my job I suggest www.ehealthinsurance.com

Me too.  It's a huge problem.  Try RxOutreach, they will provide generics $20 for 3 month supply.  Also, many of the major pharmaceutical companies have patient assistance programs which may completely cover the cost of the medication.  Also try PPARx.org for information on other programs.

it depends on what type of policy you want.  If you do a search on a site like insuranceshoppers.net, you'll find some REALLY cheap options on through some more expensive options that would be a waste of money.  But there is a reason the cheapest ones are so cheap, because they have really low limits (calendar year, outpatient, Rx, etc) or don't have any coverage at all in some areas.  The best thing to do is to choose one of the companies you have heard of and get a high deductible plan that still covers everything like Rx.  Call the agency to help you out, it doesn't cost anything.  In the end, it's all just a gamble - like going to Vegas.  If you are healthy and don't know what is going to happen in the future, you'll more than likely come out ahead by saving money in premiums with a high deductible plan or HSA qualified plan.  If you have pre-existing conditions and can't get individual (underwritten) health insurance in Colorado, you might check Cover Colorado - covercolorado.org

The best place is probably going to be your local health department.  \nYou can always call ahead just to make sure, and if they don't provide Medicaid from their offices, they can always refer you to who does or who you will need to speak with.

Talk to your doctor about getting on the Patient Assistance Program. They have paperwork for this, or a special person in another building will have it and the doctor will have the contact number for you. You will have to fill out and sign a bunch of papers for the drug company for each prescription, then it gets sent to your doctyor so he/she can add a prescription to it. Then it is sent to the drug company(s). Then you wait a little while to see if you qualify. IF you do, then the drugs are sent to your doctor's office and you pick them up there. They will give you 3 months worth of each medication for a very small fee to no fee at all (I have had it as low as $5 for a 3 month's supply).

www.medicare.org\nI fought with trying to figure out which plan to get for two weeks and then it came to me how simple it is.  \nJust take the number of generic prescriptions times the cost of the particular plans generic costs . . . then do the same with brand scripts that are not generic yet.  Add the two together.  Take the monthly premium and you've got your answer.  At the above web site, you can find which plans are available in your state.  Good luck!\nSamanthaandpooh

The best place to start is by doing what you’re doing now – asking for personal recommendations. What kind of health insurance are you looking for? It might be a good idea to jot down a list of the different aspects of a health plan and then chart the differences between various plans you come across. Here’s an example:\n\n·Monthly price (premium)\n·Yearly deductible (amount you spend before the insurance company will start paying)\n·Copay amount (amount you pay per service)\n·Coinsurance amount (amount you split with the insurance company – usually a percentage; i.e., you pay 20 percent and the insurer pays 80 percent)\n·Freedom of choice (can you visit whatever doctor you want?)\n·Preventive medicine and routine doctor visits (does the plan include these?)\n·Mental health (included in the plan; copay amounts; maximum number of annual visits).\n\nHMOs (health maintenance organizations) are popular right now, and they usually include mental health coverage in their plans. A typical example is that you would pay a monthly fee and then a copay when you visit your therapist (usually around $50 for a plan with low monthly payments). One potential problem, though, is access to physicians. An HMO might not have the kind of mental health specialist you’re looking for. Before you enroll in an HMO, I would strongly urge you to look at their mental health specialist roster. For more choices, you might opt for a PPO (preferred provider organization) or a traditional fee-for-service plan.\n\nOne helpful Web site is needymeds.com (see link below). It is a catalogue of Web sites devoted to discounted drugs and medical programs.\n\nThe best way to find answers to your questions, though, is by talking with local insurance agents. Just tell them what you’re looking for and how much you want to pay, and then wait until one of them brings back a policy that’s right for you. You won’t spend any more on a plan from an agent than if you bought the same plan online. MostChoice.com is a Web site with state-licensed agents throughout the country. When you visit the site, you fill out a short information request form. You’ll get free quotes and policy information on health plans near you, and within two days agents should contact you. There’s no cost and you’re not expected to buy a policy from the agents. Also, MostChoice will use your personal information only to help you find the health plan you’re looking for.\n\nYou can visit MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm\n\nGood luck. I hope this helps,\n\nBarnes @ MostChoice.

it totally depends on your insurance.  if you have a prescription co-pay, you'll pay top level (for brand-namers, there's no generic).  Mine is $20/month.  Otherwise, if you've got no ins., give your local free clinic a call and ask what they have available.  I live in WI and we have pretty good programs, but it usually varies by state.

There are places that help. Doctor's offices have lists of places to help low income and these people get meds free in the United States. Montel Williams is active in these programs and can give you answers. Go to his web-site. Maybe look up free meds on goggle search. If you go to a clinic for low income individuals, you will have the greatest chance of getting the meds. They fill out application and even order meds that doctor prescribes.

You can purchase them at Riteaid, Drugstore.com, Walgreens.com, CVS.com as long as you have a valid prescription from a doctor.  If you don't, you can't buy them legally anywhere.
