Some key points about TKI costs with insurance:
* Annual costs for leukemia prescription drugs can range from $70,000 to $120,000 for a year's worth of treatment
* Monthly copayments can sometimes exceed $2,000, even with insurance coverage
* People paying over $2,000 per month are five times more likely to discontinue treatment compared to those with lower costs
* Higher copayments make it more difficult for people to take their medication properly or continue treatment
If you're struggling with the cost of your TKI medication, talk to your cancer care team. They can connect you with copay assistance programs, patient support programs, and other resources that may help lower your out-of-pocket expenses and improve access to your treatments.

My doctor got me a money grant from Leukemia Society which was for $4000. The co-pay was $3400 and the total cost was $15500 per month. My cost was FREE. I am over 65 so after a $3000 cost in insurance the government pays 100%. I think doctors do not give people medication because of the expense?
