Ocrevus recipients

Hello. I want to share with those receiving Ocrevus treatments that I have benefited from the Ocrevus co-pay program offered by Genentech to Ocrevus patients. It helped a lot with my portion of insurance deductibles.

Great to hear! Great that they offer a copay program

I used them last year and need to get them to cover my co-pay. I did not know they could help with the deductible. Good to know for next year.

How did it help with deductibles? I thought it was just to help cover co-pay for med.

It paid $5500 of my $5600 deductible. Luckily I get infused in January so all but $100 of my out of pocket costs are covered for the year.

Love the copay program and hope it doesn't change!

Through the Genetech foundation you can get 100% of each infusion medication paid for. The Doctor needs to be involved and there is also another Genetech program which pays for the infusion center cost and the pharmacist fee t prep the med as well as the benadryl cost associated with the transfusion. $0 out of pocket as long as your household income is less than $150K/year.

It was not real easy. I was frustrated with Genentech needing a very specific Explanation Of Benefits beyond what I was able to provide. I needed an advocate so I told my Neurologist about this issue and she then contacted the Ocrevus representative and between them working things out Genentech covered $6400 of my $6500 deductible. I am grateful for the program.
