A friend of mine cannot afford her medication. Having Medicare is disqualifying her from literally everything, including the copay card. She has tried it ALL and is desperate for help.
Post Body
I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine. All of this information is secondhand, so please bear with me. Also, please know that I am not asking for donations, handouts, or transactions. I am just asking for ideas.
My friend has a blood clotting disorder. She takes Eloquis for it, and she has now reached the point where it's too expensive. She has tried EVERYTHING to try and bring the price down, but she doesn't qualify for anything due to having Medicare. Things she has tried:
- Substituting for another medication (those require $35 doctor visits three times a week for lab work)
- Asking for a generic (there isn't one, as per a pharmacist)
- The $10 copay card
- The patient assistance program from the drug manufacturer
- NeedyMeds
- Patient Services, Inc
- PatientAdvocate.org
- RxOutreach
- GoodRx
- Kroger Rx Savings Club
- Various discount and prescription savings cards
There has GOT to be SOMETHING out there for her so that she can continue taking this medication. Does anyone out there have any ideas at all?
