IBRANCE price

hi wonderful ladies, I am on IBRANCE 100 for almost 4 years. I started to pay about $600 as copayments for fist year and they increased the price every year, so I end up paying 860 this year however this month they charged me 899 and when I asked why the answer was the manufacturer raised the price of IBRANCE. I was wondering if this happened to any one

Thank you in advance

Hello! I have been on Ibrance for almost one year and paid my share of cost for a couple of months. I then found out you can contact the company, which I did, and I have paid nothing for the last 10 months. I was amazed and it has been such a blessing. That option should be available to you too- your oncologist should be able to give you info/link on whom exactly to contact. Good luck!

thank you for your response I have tried to get help with no success. The bad thing is they are raising the price every year

Yes, definitely contact Pfizer directly or have your cancer center help you do that. The company has a program to pay insurance co-pays and another program to pay for your meds if you’re on Medicare. I ended up paying nothing, although unfortunately Ibrance didn’t work so well on me and now I’m on Xeloda. Here’s the link to the Pfizer program:

So glad you have been able to be on this successfully for almost 4 years, that gives me hope. As for the copayment, I agree with the others on here. Contact Pfizer for their co-pay assistance program. I have been on it for over 2 1/2 years. I am on Medicare but have a supplemental policy, too. I don't think it is offered if someone just has Medicare, which does not seem very fair. Best of luck to you.
