I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine, because she can’t figure out the whole Reddit thing. All of this information is secondhand, so please bear with me.
My friend has a blood clotting disorder (the name escapes her at the moment). 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. The extra monitoring us due to the reasons below. See the last bulleted item, “Substitutes.”)
- 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.
- The Extra Help program.
- Substitutes – she can’t take other similar drugs because they don’t play nice with her CVID and autoimmune issues, and they also don’t work for her.
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?
