New Insurance Resources Available

NeedyMeds Drug Discount CardNeed help paying for prescription drugs? An article in the Los Angeles Times lists four drug-assistance programs that might help cut monthly costs for both insured and uninsured patients. NeedyMeds also has a drug discount card for medications not covered under your insurance plan.
 
Questions about disability laws and regulations? The Disability Law Handbook, published by the Disability and Business Technical Assistance Center (DBTAC), outlines federal laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, and government programs, such as Social Security Disability.
 
You can also visit PHA's Online Insurance Guide for more information. While much of the information continues to be relevant, we are in the process of updating it. If you identify areas in need of update or content that you think should be added to this resource, please contact PHA at insurance@PHAssociation.org.
