Paying for Prescriptions

The cost of prescription drugs in the United States is the highest in the world. When people who rely on prescription drugs lose their jobs or face heavy debt, it can become very difficult to pay for necessary medications. Since employer-offered health insurance often contains prescription drug coverage, losing a job can also mean having to pay the full cost of your prescriptions.

The compassionate Boston lawyers of Joshua Spirn & Associates will work with you to ensure you can afford your medications while you negotiate your debt. To get started, call 800-975-5346 today.

The Cost of Medication

Without insurance coverage, a single month’s supply of many commonly-prescribed drugs can cost over $300. Making the situation even worse, the people who need prescriptions the most are frequently the ones who have the least disposable income. People with young children, the elderly, and people with disabilities often make do with limited income, but use more prescriptions than other groups. When sudden and dramatic life changes occur, their health can be at risk.

To better afford medication, many Americans have turned to ordering prescriptions online from overseas pharmacies. These pharmacies are able to offer the same medications for a fraction of the cost. In some cases, however, buying drugs overseas can be dangerous. There is less regulation in the international prescription trade, and it is possible to receive contaminated or low-quality products. For that reason, it is often advisable to work out a strategy that lets you continue to buy them in person.
