The PCC’s Center for Medicine Access provides low-cost or free medicines to County residents who would otherwise not be able to afford them. The Center has several programs to accomplish this including:

1. Community Pharmacy, which provides 33 generic medications to Montgomery Cares patients at the point of a clinic visit.
2. Pharmacy Benefit Management provides medication assistance for PCC’s Care for Kids and Project Access programs. Individuals receive a pharmacy card with HMO pricing and access to a broad network of local retail pharmacies.
3. Montgomery County Medbank Program, which helps individuals not enrolled in Montgomery Cares have access to the pharmaceutical industry’s patient-assistance programs for free or reduced-cost medications.
4. Community Outreach and Education is an ongoing part of the work of PCC Center for Medicine Access. Through collaborative partnerships, the Center raises public awareness of resources available to a wide range of County residents, some of whom simply need information about accessing needed medicine.

If you  need assistance in obtaining medications you cannot afford, the number to call is 301.628.3422.
