North Cascade Cardiology

Medication Assistance Program

NCC offers its own Medication Assistant Program, staffed by a Registered Nurse. Patients who have no insurance and limited income are referred to the program by their cardiologist. NCC works with several drug companies to get patients set up with the help they need.

"We have been working closely with the cardiologists at North Cascade Cardiology since early 2004. They have always been responsive to our requests for care for our client referrals. On occasion, they have, in an emergency situation, seen our clients within 24 hours.

Four of our clients, who were unable to get timely care in Canada, received life-saving care from North Cascade Cardiology, and are only alive today because of their decision to leave the Canadian healthcare system and get their procedure in Bellingham.

We have observed, over the years, that North Cascade Cardiology is less concerned about the revenue derived from treating our clients, as they are about ensuring positive outcomes. Indeed, on one memorable occasion, they were able to work out a creative and affordable solution for a client of ours from the prairies, whose resources were very limited.

We consider the folks at North Cascade Cardiology to be amongst our most irreplaceable resources."
