My friend suffers from bipolar disorder. They were on Medicaid to help with the medications for awhile, now their condition has improved and Medicaid has notified them that they are losing their coverage because they are fucntioning again, even though they have a chronic condition and no way to pay for their medicine, so they'll just go back to where they were before when Medicaid stops. My friend is in school and will graduate by December and hopes to have a job and insurance then. They are appealing Medicaid's decision, but they don't have much hope. They have also applied for prescription assistance. We're both from Indiana. Does anyone know what other options my friend might have in order to get help with their medicines? Thanks.

Yes. WalMart and Target sell hundreds of their maintenance medications (and that usually covers bipolar medications) for $4.00.
Please call them and find out.
legal aid scouts,churches,welfare.
It is horrible that our goverment does this. My sister has gone through the same thing treated for the same thing. Then when they assumed she was better they revoked her card as well. They she really sank pretty low and ended in a psychiatric ward. I would contact the doctors office and see if they know of any persons you can talk to or guide for some public assistance.
Good luck to your friend!
There is a program that really helps. I can't think of the name but contact Montel Williams (host of tv show). He promotes this program to help as many ppl as he can.
Thank Reagan for this one. I'm also from Indiana. Look into Catholic Charites.
