anyone have pacificare ppo
Hi guys, I am anxiously awaiting a phone call to let me know what my co-pay will be with tykerb/xeloda. I've made all the phone calls I can and cannot get much info. I did find, thankfully, that I do not have a maximum benefit allowed with prescriptions. So I was wondering if anyone has similar insurance and can share what the co-pay could be. I have virtually no frame of reference for these figures.

Joy - I don't have that company - mine is BCBS but my copay is $25.00/month for the Tykerb.

Hi Joy,

I am trying to catch up with your posts and this the first one I found. I will go back to catch up...but wanted to let you know that I add Tykerb tomorrow. I just had a call that my co-pay with United will be $50 per month.

Love, Hope, and Peace,

Carolyns

Carolyn, that is interesting about your co-pay. I have United Healthcare also, and my co-pay is $40 a month.

Hi Esther,

Maybe mine includes the FedEx fee. Who knows? Just glad to get it...although a little nervous about the new drug and the progression in the bones. You know I have that edgy feeling.

Love, Hope, and Peace,

Carolyn
