PharmCo to Offer Emergency Prescriptions to Residents in Louisiana Flood Zone
On August 19, 2016, PharmCo, with the help of Express Scripts, is teaming up with the Federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide a new Emergency Prescription Assistance Program (EPAP) in response to the flooding in Louisiana. PharmCo is currently capable of adjudicating claims for prescription drugs, vaccines, and specific durable medical equipment (DME) for patients impacted by the disaster.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
If an uninsured patient from the disaster area visits Pharmco with a prescription or prescription bottle to obtain medication and/or durable medical equipment, the pharmacy will immediately create an eligibility file and process the claim. Once the claim is processed, PharmCo will dispense the medication and/or the equipment to the patient. DME covered under this program are Canes, Crutches, Walkers, and Wheelchairs. Under this program there are no limitations to what or how many medications a patient can receive.
"When a disaster like this happens, it affects all of us," stated S. Parikh Mars, CEO. "We are happy to provide assistance and support to the State of Louisiana and any of its residents affected by the flood
