FARMINGTON — MaineHealth has recently expanded the MedAccess program for Greater Franklin County residents eligible for help to pay for prescriptions.
The program is free and administered at eight Maine hospitals, including Franklin Memorial Hospital.
The program works with individuals and health care providers by evaluating options, such as pharmaceutical companies’ patient assistance programs, low-cost generic programs and Medicare Part D, as well as state and local prescription programs that can help save on prescription medication costs.
Dianna White, who has been appointed the MedAccess prescription assistance case manager, based in Farmington, has six years of experience assisting those in need of prescription support. Her office is at Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County, 105 Mt. Blue Circle. White can be reached at 207-779-2834 or 1-877-275-1787.
White stressed that anyone contacting the office should be prepared to give his or her demographic information, a current medication list and income and insurance information. She will determine the programs one qualifies for and will help individuals through the enrollment process. White also refers her clients to other local social service agencies, as needed, for additional resources.
