Specialists and case workers can often advise people on public health care and insurance options, such as Medicare, patient assistance programs, CHIP and Medicaid. Or a counselor can help you sign up for a free discount card, which can save consumers up to 50% on their medications. For example, read more on New York State prescription drug card .
