MEDICINE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
    Administration Fee = $6 per prescription

This fee is charged for service provided by CHCFD personnel. It is not for the cost of the drug.

Many drugs have an alternative generic version which is available in the Community Health Center Pharmacy. Most generic drugs produce the same results as the expensive brand medication and they will cost less over time. Also, many pharmaceutical companies place a limit on the number of months a drug may be provided.

Please ask your CHCFD Health Care Provider if there is an acceptable generic drug that will work as well as the brand drug. In most instances, the medication can be provided at time of visit.
