Emergency Prescription Service:

Provides short-term assistance for persons who need prescription drugs but have no funds to purchase them. People in need are referred to us by many social service agencies in the community.

Requirements:

• Must be uninsured
• Must have a photo id
• Must have a valid prescription

The Emergency Prescription Service of Kumler Neighborhood Ministries cannot fill prescriptions from Capitol Community or Mental Health.

Indigent Pharmaceutical Program:

Assists persons who need prescription medications to manage long-term, life threatening medical problems. A case manager helps access programs which provide long-term medications for the indigent. These programs are offered by manufacturers of prescription medications but require the cooperation and coordination of patient, physician and vendor. This program has received grants from state, local and federal sources. Since people are usually out of their medication when they come to us, we can usually purchase two months worth of medication for them until their free medicine program benefits take effect.
