Ask Mike - Paid for sorting my Dads medication

Dear Sort of Medication

Thanks for writing and sharing your question. You want to know whether you can be paid for sorting your Dad’s medication. He is a disabled veteran.

I regret to tell you that I have never heard of any program that pays for just sorting medication. If an individual has greater and more complex needs for assistance in addition to the need for assistance with medications, then it is possible that, as one part of a larger plan of care, payment for sorting medications could occur.

You might want to go ahead and contact the Veterans Administration (VA) to see what kinds of benefits might be available for your Dad. Go to www.va.gov to check out the VA website and to ask any questions.

Thanks, again, for writing,

Mike Oxford
