Ever heard of this??

Question:

I'm heading to New Zealand for 9 months and need some way to keep up with my perscriptions. I'm only going to be paid $20 a month, so paying for them is pretty much outta the option and my insurance isn't willing to cover them. We found this thing online called freemedicinefoundation.com and I was just wondering if anyone's ever heard of it and if so, if they know anything about the credibility of the program.

Customer Experience
Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record
with the Bureau due to one or more unresolved complaint(s).

The Better Business Bureau has questioned Free Medicine Foundation's use of the words free and foundation in its name. According to the company's website, for a five-dollar fee per prescription, they will send you an application to apply for free medicine from pharmaceutical companies. In addition, the BBB feels that this company's name has the capacity to mislead potential customers by using the word "foundation" within its name. This company is not registered with the Missouri Secretary of State and according to the Internal Revenue Service this is not a foundation or a charity. The BBB has brought these concerns to this company's attention but has not received a response. Consumers should be advised that the paperwork offered by Free Medicine Foundation for a fee is available from their doctor for free.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

Other Answers:
I can't believe your insurance company won't do anything. Did you expain the situation to them? I used to work in a pharmacy and the insurance companys used to do it for the people. I never heard of the foundation your talking about. Maybe if you get a note from your doctor telling the insurance company how you need to take this medication and how important it is they will bend.

have not a clue but do they not have pharmacies there?! Talk to your physician he/she may be able to supply you with samples to get you through.
