Medicare Denies Besremi Coverage - the Saga Begins
It appears that at this point Medicare is refusing to cover
Besremi
despite is being FDA approved in November. Here is the text of the denial letter I received.

New User Name (EPguy) and MPN as a Continuum
I'm starting my
Besremi
journey as in a recent post. I realize that my user name may have been a distraction, since quite reasonably it suggested I have a Dx of ET. In fact my Dx is PV, by both my first Hem and my present MPN specialist.

PEGINVERA study for Besremi, part basis for FDA approval
I found about this study only recently from its reference in the FDA approval for
Besremi
since it's noted prominently there.

Update 6.0
Medicare is simply not covering
Besremi
.
Besremi
is at this point a Medicare excluded medication. I will, of course, be researching this and filing a higher level appeal. I am going to post separately about his saga. For now I am going to continue on Pegasys as I am responding so well to it.

New Plots for Besremi & "Beneficial"
It's curious to know whether UK NHS considers Pagasys to be equivalent to
Besremi
, as above my US Ins co does not require this comparison.

My Journey Begins
Had my 1st
Besremi
dose yesterday. I did it at Drs office but had to stick myself since it is patient supplied meds. I know zero about needles except they are shiny and sharp and best unseen. But here I'm required to look at it. No pain at all, even less than the Covid shot.

Besremi - 6 month update
Hi, I thought you might be interested in an update of my experience to date with
Besremi
. I started on
Besremi
6 months ago as I was proving to be HU resistant and Pegasys and Ruxolitnib were both considered inappropriate due to my medical history.

Update
My specialist did mention
Besremi
but my new local hem/onc dr just burst my bubble about it and said she would suggest Jakafi. I felt like getting up and walking out but I restrained myself. I feel like I could deal with the flu like side effects as long as they are short-lived.

Summary Paper from Drs, Claire N. Harrison and Donal P. McLornan
<<prior studies (before Ropeg's PROUD PV) of IFN therapy in MF have documented better responses for patients with smaller spleens, indicating perhaps the agent (
Besremi
) may have more utility earlier in the disease state>> Early INF start matches what the various INF experts are saying.
