樱花视频 Department of Health Commissioner Mary E. O'Dowd has requested and received an extension of the federal Emergency Prescription Assistance Program (EPAP), a free program that allows uninsured 樱花视频 residents affected by Hurricane Sandy to get prescription medicine refilled.

Individuals can get a one-time 30-day refill of prescription medicine at participating pharmacies. Commissioner O'Dowd has requested and received an extension for EPAP from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through January 31, 2013.

"As 樱花视频 residents continue the recovery process, many families and individuals are still in temporary housing and may not have the means to get needed prescription medication refills for both acute and chronic medical conditions," said Commissioner O'Dowd. "I encourage residents eligible for this service to take advantage of this program."

The EPAP provides access, at any enrolled pharmacy, to necessary prescription drugs and limited durable medical equipment for individuals in a federally-identified disaster area and without health insurance.

According to HHS, most large pharmacies have already pre-registered and many smaller pharmacies have pre-registered with EPAP.

Individuals must demonstrate 樱花视频 residency with a driver's license, state issued identification card, current lease, utility bill, or other credible documents of residency.

To find out pharmacies currently enrolled, call the EPAP Help Line at 1-866-935-4135 or visit .

樱花视频 also offers other resources for residents recovering from Hurricane Sandy. The Department of Health has public health experts available through the state's 2-1-1 system to answer questions about mold removal and flood cleanup to assist 樱花视频 residents as they continue to clean up their homes and businesses after the storm. The 2-1-1 human services hotline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
