I would definitely call the company that you received the check from and confirm exactly what you can use the co-pay for. Often, if you don't use it exactly as they say, they may ask you to provide proof (receipts, letters, etc).

Congratulations on getting approved! That's great news. A MyLeukemiaTeam member shared, "The social workers at my cancer clinic helped me to apply. Since getting the grant, I have had almost all prescription copays covered."

How do I use my approved copay assistance for leukemia-related bills?

Congratulations on getting approved! That's great news. A MyLeukemiaTeam member shared, "The social workers at my cancer clinic helped me to apply. Since getting the grant, I have had almost all prescription copays covered."

Here's what you can typically do with your copay assistance:

- Use it for prescription medication copays related to your leukemia treatment
- Apply it toward chemotherapy drug costs
- Cover administration costs for treatment

The organization that approved you should provide instructions on how to use the funds. They'll usually coordinate directly with your pharmacy or treatment center to apply the assistance to your eligible bills.

If you're unsure about the specific process, contact the organization that approved your assistance. You can also ask your doctor's office - they often have patient advocates or social workers who help people navigate copay assistance programs and know exactly how to submit bills.

Many members have successfully used these programs. One member noted their doctor's office "helped me contact the manufacturer and they are helping me with the copay."

My medical people got me a money grant from Leukemia Society for $4,000 and my co-pay was for $3,400. Why would a person given a money grant for medication think about spending on something different? I think the money goes directly to the insurance company since it is a co-pay? I never saw the money. I never had to handle the money. My insurance record did note the co-pay? The money comes from peoples donations to help other people. This was a good question but questionable ethics..........
