The Prescriptionease Program

New Patient Referrals

As of April 1, 2011 the PrescriptionEase Program will only accept new patient referrals from Mount Carmel entities (physicians, case managers, CNPs, nurses, etc.) and not directly from patients. Please use the Referral Form on this website to electronically submit your patient's referral for our immediate access.

Please note when you consider referring a new patient to our program, that we must strictly adhere to the patient eligibility requirements as stated on this webpage.

Most of the major pharmaceutical companies offer indigent programs known as patient assistance programs for eligible patients to receive their medications free of charge. The PrescriptionEase program offered by Mount Carmel, clears the roadblocks for Mount Carmel doctors and patients to gain access to and participate in these programs.
