For example, I have eye drops that cost about $300.00 and my insurance copay is about $180.00, but by signing up on the manufacturer website for the drug I can enroll in a program where I get a coupon reduction so my copay is only $30.00 every time I fill it. Sometimes the doctors already have the info for these programs in their offices, but if not just do it yourself on-line.
For example, here's the info for the drug you mentioned. Hope this link NOTHING but works -
Financial Support | XELJANZ(R) (tofacitinib) For UC | Safety Info
This particular one actually offers financial assistance even for those on SS but is probably income restricted. The coupon cards that are available for commercial insurances for this drug are not income restricted. PM me if I just confused the heck out of you with this wordy post - lol |
THANKS, ABBY BURGER, I swear when I posted I forgot that we had a person in the know on this subject. You are NOTHING but a great friend and a great thinker and all around great person. I'm gonna have to check on her coverage because I know the deductible is through the roof. You gave us another avenue to explore.
Even when we hat tip-top coverage in N.J. one time the nice girl at the drive up window said, go home and print up a GOOD R/X coupon for whatever the medicine was and it cut our cost from $170 to under $50. Its a shame what goes on but I better leave it at that so we don't have a dilemma here. Thank's for the great info!
