$2100???
Oh my goodness. Ijust found out that my insurance requires that I pay 60% of the cost of Tykerb which equals $2100/month. Tykerb Cares only referred me to the Patient Access Network and Healthwell. I got in touch with the PAN and they will begin a process, but I won't even know if I'm approved for another 2ish weeks. they will reimburse retroactively up to 90 days prior to approval, but if I'm not approved then what?
So, I'm now in the OTHER club of Tykerb frustration. Meanwhile it has been 2 weeks without any treatment and I really don't want to go too much longer.
I know who should work for Tykerb Cares-US! WE would get the job done wouldn't we ladies?
