I just got the word that my copay is jumping from $200 every 3 months to the

above number. That, of course, means I have to give up the shots.

I appreciate someone's suggestion to inquire about Xolair Assist. I did.

Apparently it's only for young people. They told me it's against federal law to

offer it to anyone on any type of Medicare product, effectively exclusing

assistance to anyone over 65 who is a U.S. citizen.

Thanks for all your help over the years.

I am having financial issues with it as well. Xolair is a God sent. But the

debit card does not apply to Canadians. I am in trouble.

I admit, I do not know much about the national healthcare system in Canada. Do

they only cover certain drugs and not others? Do they cover xolair but make the

patient pay part of the cost because of how expensive it is?

Just wondering,

Doug

Carol, I am also on Medicare, so can appreciate your situation. I am very

concerned about the same thing happening to all of us that are on Medicare. I

did read on another xolair site about healthwell foundation. There were people

posting who had gotten help, but it seemed to be for people with minimal

insurance. I know Medicare limits the amount that can be charged - perhaps you

could get a supplemental policy to cover the rest. Do you get your shots in the

hospital? Hope you are able to work this all out!! Marilyn
