you are on a low income you will need an HC1 Form to apply for
help. (Click for more info)
Prescription
Prepayment Certificates
If you pay
for your prescriptions and need more than two items per month,
or more than five in a four-month period, you will save money
by purchasing a Prescription Prepayment Certificate. Phone

limit on the number of prescriptions that may be obtained within
