Medication Assistance
Consider whether your client was on a fixed income and has no health or pharmaceutical insurance, no internet access, and can only afford $30 per month for medications. Explore three pricing options for each medication to provide the most cost-effective option for this client. The medications this client is on include:
Metformin 1,000 mg BID (diabetes)
Atorvastatin 20 mg daily (CAD – cholesterol)
Lisinopril-HCTZ 20/12.5 mg daily in the morning (CAD – hypertension)
Multi-Vitamin
Calcium 500mg daily
Baby ASA 81 mg every other day
Answer these questions using these headings:
Medication Pricing: How much does each medication cost? Which pharmacy is in or near your community that your client can use?
Medication Assistance:
If the cost of a 30 day supply of these medications exceeds the client’s monthly spending limit, who will you refer her to in your community/neighborhood to help pay for these prescriptions?
Is your client on Medicare?
If your client does not qualify for drug assistance, what else could you do to assist her in obtaining the medications?
