Chicago Senior Living Expert Give Tips on Alzheimer's Medication Costs

CCM is aware of the reality of rising drug costs, its effects on people, and the challenges they face even with Medicare or Medicaid.

Evanston, IL (prHWY.com) January 15, 2013 - Chicago, Illinois (December 7, 2012) - Chicago senior living expert Creative Care Management (CCM), is providing tips on how to manage the costs of medication for Alzheimer's Disease. They share these pointers to help people managing the prescription drug costs for loved ones with the disease.

CCM is aware of the reality of rising drug costs, its effects on people, and the challenges they face even with Medicare or Medicaid. One tip they share is to ask for a generic equivalent of the prescribed medicine. Generic drugs can cost up to 70% less than their brand name counterparts can.

Another tip offered is to look for available state or community health programs for seniors. Some state governments have programs making medicines more affordable for the elderly, the disabled, or those with low incomes. Some private hospitals and social agencies like the Salvation Army also provide financial assistance for those with difficulty buying prescribed medication.

Additionally, CCM reveals that there are patient assisted programs, or PAPs, sponsored by certain companies that also create prescription medicine. Each sponsor may have its own rules and application process to ensure only people with specific conditions may apply. They also suggest consulting one's doctor or nurse regarding any available PAP within the area.

Finally, CCM suggests tapping into prescription savings programs. They are a new and unique approach to free savings on prescribed drugs especially for people without prescription coverage. The group particularly refers to the GoRxâ„¢ prescription savings program readily available for every individual and family living with Alzheimer's.

The group shares these tips in the hopes of making things easier for Alzheimer's afflicted people having senior care in Chicago. Visit www.CreativeCareManagement.com to learn more.
