Hey brothers just noticed that generic Abiraterone Acetate has been added as a choice on the Medicare website. While not yet a windfall price reduction its at least a step in the right direction! Best wishes to all for an awesome painfree week with zero hot flashes.

Just for my first prescription not that much different in price. Almost $15,000 before Medicare and insurance.

I'm on Medicare and started the generic in January, the copay at my HMO was $1,200/month. Don't know what the branded Zytiga copay is from our pharmacy. My copay is supposed to be 33% of the cost to the HMO, don't know if the cost to HMO includes the Medicare portion or not.

Not what you're looking for?
