Many people with chronic or intractable pain have a very hard time getting the medications they need for their very survival. It's a huge issue and though the government is trying to help the uninsured/underinsured, chances are, the very ill will not be helped by such a plan.
Why? As most pain patients know, it's already happening under all current insurance plans. And, it happens frequently. Anyone who depends on large quantities of medication that are often quite costly is likely to have issues with ANY insurance plan.
Insurers will delay or worse, deny coverage altogether. Many question the need for such medications, and it becomes a huge war between the insurer and the insured, with the doctors in the middle, trying desperately to ensure their patients survive.
With all of this going on, ThePainStore.com is trying to do its part to help those in need. If you are currently having problems with your insurance company, or you don't have adequate coverage, there are several places you can look to for assistance.
Please see our web site for the full details on the many programs available: Pain Patients: Access to Prescriptions.
There are plans offered by specific pharmaceutical companies, as well as prescription assistance organizations. Additionally, there are prescription savings cards offered by many groups.

If you are in California and have a serious illness, but cannot seem to get insurance through normal channels, there is a plan that may help. Get the details on the California Major Risk Medical Insurance Program.
