My patient cannot afford to get their antiviral prescription filled. Where can they get assistance?
Florida is working on agreements with different retailers throughout the state to ensure Floridians have access to antiviral medications. The Bureau of Statewide Pharmaceutical Services has developed a Public Antiviral Stockpile Program to ensure healthcare providers have a resource for referring their patients who cannot afford antiviral medications. Patients can be directed to one of several participating pharmacies throughout the state: Publix, Walgreen’s, Winn Dixie and Navarro. County Health Departments will also have supplies of antiviral medications, so Floridians who need it can get it. In addition, many healthcare providers are aware of community prescription assistance programs. If you have internet access, you can utilize the Partnership for Prescription Assistance site: http://www.pparx.org/prescription_assistance_programs/free_clinic_finder for information about prescription assistance near you.
