Assistance
The number one concern Seniors have is the cost of their medications.
For many, they choose each month between taking their medicines
and buying food or paying utility bills. NOCCOA is doing all that
it can so that people do not have to make these choices.
There are several ways a person can save on their medicine costs.
Sometimes it is confusing but NOCCOA staff is here to help sort
through it all. Funding from United Way enables NOCCOA to dedicate
a staff person to help you fill out forms to work directly with
pharmaceutical companies. In addition we have certified MMAP workers
to help with Medicare and Medicaid applications.
Our staff has helped literally hundreds of people find the right
Medicare Part D Prescription Assistance plan. We are here to help
you.
The Grand Haven Presbyterian Church has given NOCCOA a grant to
pay for emergency medications for low income people. There are
strict criteria to qualify for these limited funds, but if you
have an emergency (i.e. between plans and totally out of meds)
and think you might qualify, please call us in Grand Haven at
616-842-9210 and in Coopersville at 616-997-1786. |
