HealthQuest

HealthQuest is a non-profit organization that provides free* prescription medications to residents who need assistance in order to control chronic medical conditions. Our organization helps those without prescription insurance or financial resources to afford their medications. HealthQuest is also able to help clients on Medicare D when they fall i... n the "donut hole". *Clients pay a $20 administrative fee but all medications are free. HealthQuest screens potential clients by appointment. Contact our office at 704-226-2050 (Monroe) or 704-994-4720 (Wadesboro) to set up an appointment or to find out more information about becoming a client. If approved for the program, our pharmacist will review your prescriptions and advise which medications we can fill. We do not dispense controlled substances or narcotics. You will be given an appointment time to pick up your medications. You will receive a 30 day supply. A pharmacist is also available during this time to provide counseling. Clients receive an average of 4.1 prescriptions each month with a value of $745 and pay only a $20 administrative fee, regardless of the cost of their prescriptions. HealthQuest fills up to six prescriptions a month. For clients with more than six prescriptions, HealthQuest fills the most significant or most expensive prescriptions. In addition to the medications HealthQuest purchases, we acquire medications through patient assistance programs and donations from local physician offices. We are funded through grants and contributions which limits HealthQuest to providing a maximum of six medications per client. Are you, or someone you know, not taking daily prescription medications because they are too expensive? Do you have money for either food or prescriptions, but not both? This problem affects thousands of residents, often sending them to the emergency room because their chronic health conditions are out of control. Ongoing need for medicines often creates dangerous health risks for many of our neighbors.Read More
