Prescription
Drug
Donation Program Grows
Posted 9 February
2010
In its second full year of operation, the Iowa Prescription Drug
Donation Repository Program has helped more than 5,300 low-income
Iowans receive needed prescription medications. More than 795,000 doses
of prescription medications with a retail value of $1,141,777 were
distributed to participating Iowa free clinics, community health
centers, doctor offices and pharmacies.
“The number of Iowans who need help paying for their prescription
medications continues to grow,” said Executive Director David Fries.
The program allows for the donation of medications that would have
otherwise been destroyed. The majority of the donations come from long
term care pharmacies, physician’s medication samples and individual
donations. Any single-unit dosed medication or medications in their
original sealed packaging, except for controlled substance and
medications that require refrigeration, can be donated. All donated
medications are inspected by a pharmacist prior to being distributed.
Patients who are uninsured, underinsured or have a family income of
less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible to
receive medication from participating medical facilities and
pharmacies. Over 9,000 Iowans have received free medications since the
program began March 2007.
The Iowa Drug Donation Program is administered by the Iowa Prescription
Drug Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation, with funding from the
Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Iowa Collaborative
Safety Net Provider Network. For more information call 1-866-282-5817. |
