Yes, Ibrutinib (Imbruvica) is covered by Medicare. Starting January 1, 2025, patients' out-of-pocket costs for all covered Medicare Part D prescription drugs, including Imbruvica, will be capped at $2,000 annually. Additionally, there is a Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (MPPP) that allows you to spread out your out-of-pocket costs throughout the year into monthly payments with no fees or interest1.

Thank you for this information. I really appreciate the help.

My first prescription had a co-payment of $3400 per month which Leukemia Society covered with a $4000 per month grant. Then a few months later my insurance covered the medication 100%. I think the leukemia medications are expensive and the co-payment may exceed $2000 per month. Any help we get is great and I hope others can find the same assistance I got. My medical team arranged to file for a special grant because I never learned about the expense until I was informed about the prescription. The expense to me explains why doctors promote "wait & watch" because a prescription could be beyond most people's budget?

Ibrutinib is a capsule and I have been on it for 3 years. I have been on 3 capsules and it gave me diarrhea 6 times a day so they moved me back to 2 capsules a day even though due to my weight I should be on 3 capsules. I am actively trying to loose weight now
