Thank you for your information, Home infusion company don’t budge. We have a advantage plan with part D, Home infusion copay is about 20% off $14000.00 for each infusion, This is a broken system, same medication in EU is only 570 Euro, I try to get someone to administrate ,but I can’t find anyone todo it.
We need to fight to change this system!!!
Congressman get a kickback from the pharmaceutical company and we pay for it
President Trump sign into a law “Right to try” My Dr given me prescription for Ibudilast (In EU was approve for ALS)Because in US is on clinical trial it. was refused
Very MAD that I can’t help my love of my life do to US regulation.
