See if your mom knows about RemiCare. The makers of remecaid have a program where they help with co-pay costs. They are now paying my out of pocket deductible on the front end of my Remecaid treatments. I think they have paid about $400 so far. I just found out about it, so maybe it is a new program they have started. It's worth her checking it out though. That remecaid is freakishly expensive, but man it sure does work! I love it!

I know my mom's chemo pills were $2,000. Insurance paid it thank goodness.

Do you guys have any Humana representatives in your local Wal-Mart? It's a prescription plan...maybe it will help?

what's really bad i worked at the vets office and saw the cost of the same drugs that people use and they were pennies compared to the human price, i'm a registered nurse now and see the prescription crime that goes on, if you don't have insurance get the walmart 4.99 list, a lot of your meds are comparable, don't let the docs fool you, they get a kick back of the drugs they prescribe, it's so sad that these older folks(and younger) are robbed, tell your friend that he needs to eat lots of yogurt and get some probiotics to help fill the gut with good bacteria again,, hope this helps

We were warned before she began treatments that Biologigs are an expensive class of drugs. Thank goodness insurance covers most of it, but thanks for the info. I will pass it on!

If it were me I would have to try to find the drug in Canada or Mexico...I would not have any other choice!!!

I think we are slowly being ''Culled" by the Medical field.

My gastrointerologist recently prescribed pills for heliobacter pylori (eating my stomach lining) that would have cost $380 for ten days of pills, and our prescription insurance would not pay for them. Anne asked the local pharmacist if there was an alternative. The pharmacist explained that brand name pill, Pylera, was a combination of two generic prescription antibiotic pills... Tetracycline and Metronidazole and two Pepto Bismol pills, and that with the doctors permission she could sell all four generic pills to us for $25.25. So I took four pills four times a day (160 total pills) for ten days for a total cost of $25.25.
AND THE MORAL OF THIS LESSON IS...
