Genentech has copay assistance. Ask your Physician to put you in contact wth

them. I don't have my roladex at home, sorry I couldn't have given you a more

expedient answer.

YIKES!! that's insane!!! i hope genetech assistance is able to help you. i

know if BCBS billed me that much for the xolair, it would be way out of my

reach. good luck with genetech!

I have not written for a bit, but keeping up with the postings.

i started xolair about 1 1/2 months ago. i feel like i get relief for about a

week then short of breath again. so that i can be grateful. off the prednisone.

actually i was writing because there is a company tied in with genentech that

helps with copays. i to have a ppo and had a copay of 512.00 a month with a

dedutible for the major medical of 500.00. the company is

" patient services inc. " the toll free number is 1-800-366-7741 and you send

the application back to them have ur dr. fill out their part and copy of check

stub and copy of last years taxes. start there. i have had good luck with the

process it is an asthma based company and i was lucky to have mine covered at

100% including the major medical deductible. i work as a respiratory therapist

in a hospital and didnt think i was able to qualify based on my income. but to

my surprize i did. good luck......tina
