To be eligible for pharmacy services including prescription assistance, individuals must be adults, age 18 or older, living in Catawba or Alexander counties, with an income within 200% of the Federal Poverty guidelines, be uninsured and ineligible for Medicaid. In order to determine whether a client is eligible for pharmacy services, he/she is asked to complete an application for a health care card with a staff person from NET (Neighbor Engagement Team). The following information must be presented before a card can be issued: photo id, social security card or immigration card, proof of address, proof of income, income taxes for the previous year, and a Medicaid denial letter. Note: If a client did not file taxes or has not income he/she will be asked to sign a form stating such. A Medicaid denial letter can be printed on-site by our Case Manager from the Department of Social Services.

Some services are available to patients who do not meet the criteria listed. Please contact a member of the pharmacy staff to discuss any questions you may have.
