Please talk with your oncologist team. The dispensary (drugs) at the facility submitted the application for us. We had to provide our monthly income. Grants monies can be available from different resources. However, if there are no grant monies, they will submit an application to the drug company directly. A person qualifies for grant monies depending on their income limits. Most people qualify. If you go over the income guidelines, you will need to pay a minimum amount.

This is an interesting question. Currently have insurance through work. They drug company provides a grant that pays for Revlimid which is a blessing. My co pay was $5,000 which I cannot afford. Hoping changes will come about before I retire. I sure you have already tried but ask your specialty pharmacy about any plans available. Good luck prescription cost are absurd

I'm on the generic for Revlimid, Lenalidomide. Not much cheaper unfortunately.

I have heard that revlimid now has a generic drug. It has been approved. I would ask your oncologist about prescribing the generic. It should definitely be cheaper. Good luck
