When Medicine Costs Too Much, NDAD Steps In
Published: Wednesday, December 3, 2025
Simple application, compassionate support and real financial relief for those in need.
Managing multiple health conditions is challenging enough – but for Rosa Magnus of Rugby, North Dakota, the cost of more than 10 different medications added an overwhelming financial burden. That’s when a trusted source stepped in. Her pharmacist suggested Rosa contact NDAD.
Rosa remembers her first conversation with Marsha from NDAD’s Minot office vividly. “Marsha is so nice whenever I get to talk with her,” Rosa says. “The process was easy.”
With Marsha’s guidance, Rosa completed the application and was approved for NDAD’s prescription assistance program. The impact was immediate.
“Medicine is very expensive, and sometimes it’s hard to pay for everything you need,” Rosa explains. “I still have to pay a little, but the help from NDAD really makes a difference.”
NDAD offers vital resources to help individuals with health challenges bridge financial gaps. Through generous income guidelines, NDAD reduces out-of-pocket costs for essential needs – allowing people like Rosa to redirect limited income toward other priorities and improve their quality of life.
Rosa encourages others not to hesitate. “Just call NDAD. They are a great help. They don’t judge your situation. They have a big heart and really help. I’m thankful for all the help I’ve gotten.”
