Andrew was referred to Medi-Find by his primary care physician for assistance in obtaining his nine prescription medications free from pharmaceutical companies. He had been severely injured in 2001 and required a lengthy hospitalization and several months of therapy. Prior to his injury, Andrew’s company was able to provide a small group plan for him and his employees. However, due to his injury and the resulting medical treatment, the insurance company canceled his coverage, claiming he exceeded the life time maximum. Ultimately, Andrew had to sell his company to pay bills. When Andrew came to Medi-Find, his prescriptions cost him $1,264 each month. Thanks to Medi-Find and our wonderful volunteers, Andrew now receives six of his medications free from the pharmaceutical companies, at a savings to Andrew of approximately $800 per month.
