Exploring Maryland and Beyond: MEDBANK and Travel Tips

Despite its funding challenges, the Maryland Medbank Program has continued to enroll patients throughout the state for over a year. The program provides vital assistance to individuals in need of affordable medication. Several enrollment sites have been set up across Maryland, including Garrett County, Cumberland, Washington County, Frederick County, Montgomery County, and Denton.

To sustain the program's operations, a $25 annual registration fee is charged to all patients in Central Maryland seeking assistance through MEDBANK of Maryland, Inc. This fee helps offset the cost of program administration and ensures its continuity.

Please note that MEDBANK is currently unable to assist patients outside the state of Maryland. For individuals residing outside Maryland, the MedbankUS Discount Card (www.medbankus.org) or the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (www.pparx.org) are recommended alternatives for accessing medication support.

While the staff is working on resuming the acceptance of new and former patients, individuals are advised to stay tuned for further updates and news regarding MEDBANK's availability.

In addition to healthcare assistance, it's essential to take time to explore the world and enjoy life's experiences. Traveling allows us to broaden our horizons, discover new cultures, and indulge in delicious cuisines. If you're planning a trip to Mexico, here are some fantastic restaurant options in popular destinations:

Even though MEDBANK has and lost its funding in July 2009 the Maryland Medbank Program has continued to enroll patients throughout the state for over a year now.  There are sites in Garrett County (at the Health Department), in Cumberland (at the Department of Social Security), in Washington County (at the Medication Assistance Center in Hagerstown), in Frederick County (at the Frederick Community Action Agency), in Montgomery County(at the Primary Care Coalition), and in Denton Maryland (at  Choptank Community Health Centers). 

All patients in Central Maryland seeking assistance through MEDBANK of Maryland, Inc. are being charged a $25 registration fee per year to offset the cost of program administration.

We are unable to assist patients outside of the state of Maryland at this time and would refer all out of state patients to our MedbankUS Discount Card (www.medbankus.org) or the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (www.pparx.org)

While the staff is not in place yet to resume taking new and former patients, we hope to be up and running again soon. Stay tuned for more news.
