Keeping up with RCS

how to use RSS

how to use RSS

This is a PICTURE of the symbol for RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication.

That's just a fancy way of saying that you can get "Feeds" for this website delivered right to your mailbox or favorite reader. You have seen Feeds before even if you didn't realize it. Think of the news that streams along the bottom of the television screen when there is important news or severe weather that the station wants to keep you informed of without interrupting your program. That is a "feed". A continuous stream of updates.

A "Feed Reader" is very much like a mailbox where all the things you want to read, get delivered to you as soon as they are updated. But instead of you giving out your email address or having to bookmark all the things you want to read, they are delivered to you in one very convenient place.

Feed Readers are FREE and available through most ISP's and email providers like Google, Yahoo, AOL, etc. When you click the RSS icon, it will take you to a page where you can select where you want your updates to go. If you don't already have a "Feed Reader" setup, don't worry. When you choose the type of reader (for example Google), you will be redirected to a page where you can enter your account information OR setup a new account.

If you prefer to get your updates by email, just enter your email address in the space provided (above where you see the mail icon) and click subscribe.

You can also get just the comments updates. This works the same way as the RSS button.

What are you waiting for? Give it a try! Even if you don't want to use it, you'll at least know what it is when you see that symbol everywhere online.

Prescription Medication

RCS is not a medicine or medication “provider”.

Don't Do DrugsRCS does NOT assist with the purchase of any Narcotic Medications.

 

RCS attempts to help individuals on an emergency basis, who are in crises and do not have the funds needed to purchase prescribed medication. We may assist an individual with the purchase of medication with a cap of $50 over any 3 month period. We will not assist in any way with the purchase of Narcotic Medications.

We can also assist an individual with a referral to MERCI clinic or a referral to providers who help persons in need of chronic medication.

Any person seeking assistance from RCS with prescription medication must come into RCS in person, with their prescription. A case worker will then interview the person to determine eligibility.  If eligible, the pharmacist is called in order to determine the cost of the medication and to make sure that it is non-narcotic.  If the cost of the medication is above our limit, we try to find other solutions, such as purchasing only a portion of the prescription.

A typical example of an individual that RCS can assist is:  a person who went to the Emergency Room for treatment of a condition and left with a prescription for medication that they cannot financially afford. We will attempt to assist them by authorizing payment for the needed prescription until they can get to their next treating physician.

RCS does not provide permanent assistance for any types of medications, although we may be able to assist with co-pays on a regular basis within the guidelines that RCS has set for quarterly maximum payout for this program. Currently (as of June 2011) that maximum is $50.00 for any 3-month period.

 

When a client presents themselves with a prescription for medication we need to call the pharmacist to determine the cost of the medication and to make sure that it is non-narcotic.

If the cost is too high, we might be able to reduce the dosage of the medication and assist the Client with a portion of what is needed
