Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 The newspaper where I work got bought by a new owner (from hell) and our new " insurance " policy leaves me paying almost full cost for Gleevec. Are there subsidies that anyone knows of that a person who theoretically has insurance can access? Thanks so much. From: untilpayday@...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi . I'm not sure if this will work. But, the first thing you can do is sign up for the NJovartis Patieht AQssistance Program. I'm on Sprycel now so I don't know if they're as generous as they used to be. You call Novartis in Kansas City and ask for Patient Assistance, talk to someone who knows what's what and ask if you can apply. The application is simple or used to be and it's worth a try. Good luck! L. [ ] Re:Medicine or food? , Just curious, how do you get your Gleevec? ez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
