FirstHealth Cares is a medication assistance program that helps patients secure medications from pharmaceutical manufacturers. These medications are for chronic disease states such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, congestive heart failure, COPD, diabetes, emphysema, hypertension and high cholesterol.

Who is eligible for FirstHealth Cares?

Any patient who does not have prescription drug coverage (including Medicaid or Medicare) and meets financial qualifications.

Services Offered

A prescription assistance coordinator will schedule the initial appointment. Financial qualifications will be assessed, and applications to secure needed medications will be signed.

A pharmacist is available to review all prescribed medications to ensure the following:

• That your medications can safely be taken together
• That your medications are right for you and your condition
• That you are not taking unnecessary or duplicate medications
• That you are informed of any less-expensive alternative medications
• All services are free of charge.
