Medication Assistance Program (MAP)

Medication Assistance Program (MAP) 
North Carolina citizens that are uninsured or who qualify for Medicare coverage often find that they cannot afford the medication required to treat their chronic health conditions. Also, those who are at risk for adverse reactions as a result of drug interactions because their care is not coordinated.
