Most of you know I developed a blood clot in my lung. The treatment was to go on a particular blood thinner for 6 mos. This med is simple to use and effective. It does not "build up" in the system and is pretty safe. It's called Lovenox.
A Rx was written to the pharmacy and Susan went down to pick it up. My co-pay for the generic med was $1,967.00. Needless to say, the drug was left at the pharmacy.
We checked a mail order pharmacy and found that they had the same co-pay.
We applied to the pharmaceutical company for some assistance and they graciously supplied me with 30 days of meds at no charge. They are making some inquiries as to why my insurer is not doing any better than this and there is a possibility that they will approve me for assistance and will pick up the entire 6 month regimen.
The alternative is to go on a different blood thinner.
So... if you, my brothers and sisters, can add this to your prayers I would be grateful.
If it's the daily injections, then I had those to prevent blood clots in my ankle after the accident. It is expensive. Keeping you in prayer.
