Heather Majka with Senior Financial Group has volunteered for the AMOS Program with the Knox County Office on Aging for the past 4 years.
The Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (CAC) established Affordable Medicine Options for Seniors Program (AMOS) as part of the agency’s Office on Aging services. AMOS helps seniors and disabled individuals apply for available assistance to reduce the cost of their prescription medicines or obtain medications that they cannot otherwise afford.
The Affordable Medicine Options for Seniors (AMOS) is a free service that helps Knoxville and Knox County seniors lower the cost of their medicines. By learning a few basics you can reduce your medicine expenses. Special programs and government assistance are also available.
AMOS can help you apply for various programs including Medicare Part D. Trained volunteer advisors do research, provide information for you, and help complete application forms. Individuals or groups interested in volunteering in AMOS are encouraged to call 524-2786.
AMOS volunteers and staff provide the services below. All services are free. Individual advising is by appointment. Note: AMOS is not a clinic or a pharmacy and does not give out medicines.
