Hi Sharon,
My Oncologist sent a prescription to Onco360
A oncology pharmacy.
They took care of everything
Found me assistance with my co pay.
I'm so grateful for them.
I didn't do anything.
(Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) in
Case they need the phone number.
Also it's so expensive it's
February and I have met my
Yearly deductible for my insurance company.
Now my other medication is free or very low cost.

When I was diagnosed in February of 2023 I was told that I needed to get Revlimid
I couldn't figure it out and couldn't afford it.
My oncologist thought I was taking it for 6 months.
He was very upset with his own pharmacist.
He called her into the room and told her ( get Murray the medication) in a very stern voice.
She contacted Onco360.

In this thing together!
Murray

Ask for copay assistance from the drug company

Hello. I’m a senior from Canada. My oncologist had his team arrange to get me the medication because my income was under a certain amount. It was wonderful to have his team do the paperwork, etc. as that an be very.stressful.
The price of Revlimid is so high that the drug company can afford to give it for free or at a lower cost for some situations. I feel guilty because it feels like I’m getting this advantage because other people are paying so much more.

I use CVS pharmacy for all my prescriptions. When my oncologist subscribed Revlimid, I got a call from the CVS Specialty pharmacy. They got a grant to cover all the cost of my Revlimid.

No. I do not need to search. My financial advocate at my hospital does all the work for me. They know MediCare and Humana will pay the exorbitant billing amounts charged as there are many hands in the pot. So many bodies are banging my account it is unbelievable. I have people on the “payroll” that I’ve only met once. If you wonder why our healthcare bill is 20% of GDP it’s because there’s no auditing. They just pay. And when they don’t want to pay they let the provider know their policy up front. For example, my doctor wanted to give me a “tandem” or back-to-back bone marrow transplant and MediCare said NO. Not in the same year! But 47 different people putting billable hours on my account is ok.

Politicians don’t care because the more that flows to big donors (pharma, hospitals, insurers) the more campaign contributions they get. The more they get the longer they stay in office. A vicious incestuous cycle.

As far as Revlimid, call the Leukemia & Lymphoma society and be sure to say your family income is $45,700 per year. Stupidly they go by income not assets. You can make $45,700 a year and qualify for $5000 grant and have $1 million in the bank. They don’t care how much you have, only income.
