If you to to both the actual   Xolair website and  the Xpansions website  ( the

Xolair Patient site)   you will find links for " Access Solutions "  . ( It used to

be called SPOC).  That is who you would need to contact regarding co-pay

assistance.

Like many before, I am switching my insurance to a very high

deductable. $4500 must be met before my reimbursements kick in, that's

OK, but then I'm only covered 80%. That means about an additional $600

(if my estimated cost for Xolair is correct: $3k per month?)per month.

Plus, the premiums of almost $900 per month, and I'm almost back to my

yearly cost for insurance of $22,000. Someone spoke of an assitance

program, and I would like to try and qualify. Does anyone have a

telephone number or web site? Thanks.

I was put in touch with Genentech, the manufacturer, at 1-800-240-1224.  Their

web site is https://www.genentechaccesssolutions.com/index_xolair.jsp    They

set me up with a $1500 'debit' card to help off-set the costs.  Since that was

depleted with my first shot in January, they have put me in touch with a

nopn-profit agency who may be able to offer some support financially.  Best

wishes!

Thank you both for the information: It was spot on!!! I'll give the

results in a few weeks or so.
