How do I get My Medications?

1) Does your doctor have samples?
As soon as you get any prescription from the doctor, ask if they have sample that can be given to you. This is the cheapest and easiest way to secure your medication.

2) Can you get your medication through samples and PAP forms?
If your doctor doesn’t have samples available, call MCAC to see if we have them. We will also let you know if we can get a 3 month supply of medication for free through the manufacturer by filling out PAP forms.

3) Should you go to the Pharmacy?
If there are no samples available, and there are no PAP forms we may ask you to purchase medications at any local Pharmacy for a $4.00 co-pay. MCAC will pay a maximum of $1,500 per year for medications.

4) If the answer is “No” to these four questions, the prescription is unavailable through MAP.

If you have been disenrolled from the Medical Access Program, you may be able to re-enroll. Please call MCAC at 906.226.4400 for reenrollment information.
