Go online and find the manufacturer web site.They have a co-pay card that should be able to help you. Talk to your doctors office and insist that they give you information about help paying for your medication. I was on Calquence I know how expensive this medication is. You must advocate for yourself. The only way to get help in this situation is to be loud and clear. Good luck to you.

are you on just medicare or medigap, which means you also pay monthly for additional coverage? Even so, what the leukemia team listed is true, you should be able to contact the manufacturer to work out either a 0 or low pay card (called a copay card) or a grant. I was at the same place as you and called a specialty pharmacy ready to pay the $15,500. a month (#1 cause of bankruptcy in America is healthcare). They diverted me several times and ended up with 0 copay. This is my 2nd month. Get in now while the getting is good - all of this could and very well may go away in a flash under the next administration.

You may be correct. I was told the first offer to buy the medication was $23000 per month. Then the negotiated price was $15500 per month with co-pay $3400. My grant was for $4000 per month. I think medicare and insurance may both be sharing the expense? My monthly medical bill shows for this medication $15500 per month. I hope you can solve your problem before 2025? I think next year will be a cost cutting period to save money by the new administration?

I have AETNA. I hope you can contact someone before the chance to apply ends in a few days?
