CHHC hopes to provide appropriate drugs and medications to its
patients at no cost to them. Generic drugs will be used whenever possible.
The Clinic will strive to seek out free and low-cost sources for ongoing
prescription drug needs for its patients. Many of these sources have
established relationships with other VIMI clinics.
The Clinic will also utilize drug samples when available. When medications
needed by a patient are not available through the Clinic, the staff will
attempt to work with the patient to help them locate the lowest cost
options available.
Extensive use of and participation in free medication programs provided by
the major pharmaceutical manufacturers for uninsured individuals - and
Patient Assistance Programs (PAP) – will also be utilized. Patients
will also be encouraged to utilize the reduced cost and free options
generously offered by their neighborhood Publix, and Wal-Mart, stores.
Volunteer
pharmacists and pharmacy techs will be vital for purposes of assuring
quality prescriptions and assisting to prevent errors in dosage and
cross-reactions with other medications taken by the patients.
The Clinic will include a secure, limited access area for drug storage, but
no narcotics or controlled substances will be dispensed or kept on site.
