Remestiron

[kidsdogs4me]

Is anyone currently taking this? How expensive is it? I am currently trying to get insurance approval to start it, but I don't have the best insurance so I'm afraid it will still be too costly.

My gastroligist/hepotoligist (new doctor) hasn't even brought it up nor have I. We had a video chat, I haven't actually ever had a face to face with him only when I had an endoscopy. At that point we didn't talk liver. However, with my prior doctor I went yearly for an US with blood test this new doctor does it every 6 months. He said after this test we will have a one on one each time to discuss liver. My biopsy was about 3 years ago mild fibrosis, he said this is the best way to follow progression so he plans right now, every 5 years. I just recently had an ELF which indicated no change but again, he said this really isn't a sure way. I lost 60 pounds he wants me to lose another 3 percent by next visit. Unfortunately tho I started a new medication that seems to affect my appetite so I gained 5 pounds so now I need to lose more than 3 percent!!!! Keep us posted on your progress in getting it, good luck.

Hi Kids

Resmetirom is fairly expensive so your insurance company will likely have to preauthorize, but Madrigal has a robust patient support program.

To enroll in the Madrigal Patient Support program, patients can follow a straightforward process designed to assist them in accessing necessary medications, particularly for conditions like Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).

4. **Submit the Form**: After completing the enrollment form, patients should submit it as directed, either online or via fax, depending on the instructions provided.

Thank you

I tried but my BC/BS prescription coverage denies this medication. It's on the "not covered" list. Hopefully they will in the future.

Go to the Madrigal patient site and see if they can help. Their president assured me that any patient who needed it would be able to get it somehow. They are working to have grants for patients whose insurance isn't working and they will go to bat for you with MCBS I believe

My insurance is CVS/Aetna and they did approve it. My copay was going to be $3,000, but with the madrigal co pay card thankfully I'm only going to have to pay $10. I'll anxious to get started on the medicine and see if it helps.
