Good read. I have costly private insurance that seems like a bargain after that read.

Thank you so much for this information. Both my husband and I are retired - we're on Medicare and get a supplement, which includes Medicare Part D, through my retiree benefits program from my former employer.

Despite receiving a supplement, it is still very expensive but if in the future my husband has to go back on ibrutinib or venetoclax, currently we would only have to pay a $25.00 copay per a 30 day supply. Also, there is a cap on what we would have to pay out per year.

So considering the potential costs of treatment down the road, we're sticking with my retiree insurance.

Not what you're looking for?
