Reducing Xtandi costs

I recently saw a post reply that gave a link to find reduced costs for Xtandi. Thought I had saved it but no find.

Does anyone know of procedures to obtain Xtandi at a reduced cost? My PSA now spiking up and I am in the process of getting my first prescription now to add to my Leupron therapy of the last 2 years. I am not sure what exactly my co-pay is likely to be yet.

My insurance is United Healthcare. I'm in California. No way I can absorb the likely monthly cost on fixed SS income.

Thank you. I didn’t post but I read every day for a very long time. He really did not suffer and was very surprised when he was told he was dying 3 weeks before he did. He was always very optimistic. He had so many hobbies and friends and things to do he didn’t give it much thought. I did though, I was always hoping for a magical cure.

2dee, I am on Xtandi here in CA. Retired and getting Medicare. Health plan, Contra Costa health. Current income being retired was such that I get both Medicare B and D for no cost. Copays on drugs are also picked up on as well as any medical procedures. Might be Medi-Cal picking that up. I pay only $3,80 per month for Xtandi.

You need to check with hospital and MediCal to see what help is available.

Contact the maker directly-

I believe it is Astellas pharmaceutical.

They provided the drug for us at no cost!

I am due to start Xtandi this week. Got a grant from PAN Foundation to cover the copay for the first order. Looking for other sources for financial help. Hope it works for you and me.
