Imruvica copay up.

[DelrayDave]

I was told that my monthly copay (Medicare Part D) is up again. This is the first time has happened twice in one year. Last raise was January. I originally assumed the cost of the drug had gone up but Diplomat says it did not. I will check why the copay us up.

have you applied for co-pay assistance from pan or lymphoma and leukemia society?

[DelrayDave in reply to Hidden]

The last time I checked my income is, thankfully, over the limit.

[Hidden in reply to DelrayDave]

we thought ours was over also-however they seem to count 401 k withdrawals as using savings-not income. who knew?

[DelrayDave in reply to Hidden]

That would make a huge difference! I had no idea. Would someone tell me again whom to call to ask about this?

[Hidden in reply to DelrayDave]

get the facility you use to submit for you-they know how to do it. they will ask you about a few lines on your tax form and submit. this info. then if approved you will have to send in your form. can't hurt to try you want to try the pan foundation-lymphoma and leukemia society and johnson and johnson help program. the johnson and johnson will send you free each month.

[DelrayDave in reply to Hidden]

I did this. They do count all taxable income, including taxable 401(k) income. If you withdraw non-taxable savings they are not counted. Anyway, thank you for the idea. But they base their income limit on adjusted gross income and we do not qualify.

[Hidden in reply to DelrayDave]

try johnson and johnson directly

[Ellieoak in reply to Hidden]

Yes call PAN or Leukemia lymphoma society.

Ibrutinib made billions of dollars last year too 😕

And since it seems Abbvie owns Venetoclax as well, they have them both. Maybe Gonzalez has decided to get what he can now as more of us switch to a combination that stops after a tear like V and O.
