We filled his prescriptions with the new insurance (Humana Select HMO) for the first time. The Pegasys alone was $504, and the RibaPak cost $345. That's for a one month supply. As for the Alinia, that was only $50, but Humana only approved a 20 day supply. So Steve is going to have to call the doctor, and the doctor's assistant will have to straighten that out (hopefully).
I have to say that the doctor and his assistant have both been great. Anytime Steve needs anything they take care of it without any problem. Thank goodness for them!
Tomorrow I am going to call Roche Patient Assistance Foundation to see if we qualify for help with the cost of the drugs. In case anyone else needs help, the number is 1-877-757-6243. In addition, there are other pharmaceutical industry-sponsored patient assistance programs. For more information on those, the website is called Partnership for Prescription Assistance.
To those of you who celebrate it, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
All the best to you and yours,
Lisa
