The cost of Eylea goes up in the US

Pharmacies that supply Eylea to doctors are now, rather suddenly, paying a higher price for each dose of Eylea. They are billed over $460 more per shot - bringing the total to $2,776. The end result, at least for those who have the same health insurance I have, is an increase in cost for each patient of about $89 per shot - bringing the total to about $357. The charity that usually supplements these costs for patients is now bound to be strained.

I'm not sure members here can speak to that....

But perhaps someone may. It's my understanding that Eylea is for wet macular degeneration rather than a COPD drug.

Hope you get some response.
