Does anyone every get denied Jakafi from their insurance company and eventually get it approved? Does anyone not ever get it approved? We have been denied twice but our dr office says everyone ends up getting it. I am so afraid my husband won't be able to get the jakafi and he is so sick. Please, any feedback on getting medication paid for once insurance has denied it?

depend on which country you are in,..if in US cal Incyte who makes the drug. If outside call Novartis who distributes it outside the US. They have assistance programs.
I am in the US and my insurance company denied my Jakafi after I had already been taking it for some time. However, my doctor contacted them and convinced them that I had to remain on it, and they did then continue to cover it. Good luck to you and your husband.
