Thanks. I don't know. I don't think there's a sliding scale option for the regular stuff based on what I tried to learn before this latest. They *do* have an emergency situation clinic, and *that* does though. So there's that. I haven't tried GoodRx, but may well do so. I made sure to get all available meds by the cutoff to buy me some time.

www.rxoutreach.com has generics for low prices. I used it when I wasn't insured while waiting for Medicare and it REALLY helped. One my meds was less for a 90 day supply than a 30 day in the cheaper pharmacy.

For name brand meds you can get patient assistance. I get it for a few meds even though I have Medicare. I just apply and enclose a note explaining my financial situation makes the drug cost beyond my means despite having insurance and that I really need the med as nothing else works. I've done this for a number of meds and never been rejected. If you have no coverage you'll be approved without a doubt. The patient assistance apps are on the drug company webpages.

Do you have a large teaching hospital nearby? I was able to get free care through charity care at mine while uninsured. They even paid for my hysterectomy. I think you often wind up seeing a resident who is backed up by a doctor; I just kept seeing my pdoc of many years since she was already at that hospital.

I hope this all works out for you. It is so stressful.
