[CMLHope] price of gleevec,insurance,obamacare

2012-11-07 Thread robert goodrich
 Thank you all for the questions and answers.
It just goes to show us that we have a situation
that is very expensive to stay alive.
 Insurance is our only outlet, and from Marty's
experience we have to be very careful what 
insurance and type of policy we are looking for.
  I have noticed though that the price of gleevec
varies quite a lot, depending on which state we 
reside in and what insurane is available to us.
    Right now i have a PPO under MVP insurance.
My deductible is $5000. plus $300. a month.
The gleevec we are getting, { 60 tabs a month},
my wife is only on 200 mg a day,is coming in at
$3269.94 per month.Other folks i have noticed are 
paying a much higher price because of their 
monthly dose,or maybe what insurance they carry.
    Now that our President has 4 more years, we can only
hope that Obamacare has good answers for us,as Suzieq mentioned.
 
Thanks again for the input of my questions,
Rob & Nancy , Kissimmee,Florida

Yes, I do and I take 600 daily. However, I have really great coverage through 
my job so I only pay $40 per month.

hi from Greece
gleevec of 400mgx30 days costs about  2.760 euro (my salary is 1.100 euro
per month)
but i don't pay any money for it because in Greece we have a system of "
public health "
wich provide us (all the people that they are "chronically ill" like
cancer patients) with these medecine
so although Greece is the "black sheep" of world economy the cancer
patients can have hope for their life. for the time being!!
best wishes

Re: [CMLHope] Price of Gleevec keeps going up

Hi Suzieq,  The last time I reordered my Gleevec the lady from my mail in plan 
told me that it was over $10,000 for my 90 day supply.  That's a better price 
than what you are paying.  That makes one wonder who is screwing who here!  You 
would think the price from Novartis would be the same for all customers!

Hi Fellow Survivors:

I will soon be celebrating 7 years with CML & Gleevec.  I believe it
was right around the last week of Jan. 2004 when I was told what I
had.  I did not know a thing about Leukemia.did not know the many
types of blood cancers.  It's definitely been an eye opening
experience, that's for sure.

I've noticed that since the pharmacy I get my "mail ordered" Gleevec
from once a month changed names a couple of months back,  they now
enclose an invoice where they print the full price that they charge
our insurance for the Gleevec.  Well, last month a 30 day supply of
400mgs. was $3 shy of $4500.  I just received this month's yesterday
and it has gone up to $4717.  WOW is all I can say.  I just wonder if
it keeps going up each month,  how long it will be before my insurance
balks at paying.

Congratulations, Angie, on your 10 years of CML
survival..AMAZING! :):)

Keep Looking Up,

Suzieq

Hi Suzieq,  Good to hear from you.  I know it was  $4500.00 a month at 
Walgreens but I didn't know it went up that much.  I  have noticed postings 
about putting a bar of soap at the end of the bed for leg  cramps, well I tried 
it the first of this month.  I placed a bar of dial at  the end of the bed 
and I have NOT had a leg cramp all month.  Unreal, it  worked for me.  You 
and everyone in our group have a Happy New  Year.
