Dr has suggested using a medication that will cost me $1000.00 I don't know the name I also don'y know if MEDICARE will pay for any part of it. What a bad place to be in
Dr has suggest using a medication that will cost me $1000 for each injection; .has anyone else received that bad news?
has the doctor said you will pay this out of pocket? Traditional Medicare with a supplement usually covers the entire amount. A Medicare Advantage plan has a copay but not that much. If you can’t afford the treatment there is patient assistance for some medications. It might be helpful to write down your questions and call the clinic. Someone there should be able to help you sort it out. Warm wishes, Sharon Moore Patient Leaders Hi Ines, I'd say regardless of the cost, you must find out all about this medicine at least through reviews...However, because of the unusually high cost, also ask the doctor to explain in detail what this medicine is about, and most especially its side effects, etc. Good luck!
Yes Medicare covered most of the cost. As a result the appointments have been extended to every three months
thanks for the update. So glad Medicare covered it. Do you know the name of the medication? Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader it should be every month if you need it. My Medicare pays for that. Make sure you check that . It has to be Exactly one month apart.
Must be Eylea. Medicare does cover it with a supplement. There are places that help you with the costs if you don’t have that. Your Dr would know about that.
you are correct about assistance with the cost. https://eylea.us/support/co-pay-card
Most doctors have this information for patients without adequate insurance coverage. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader
