Ask about a specialty pharmacy option
Wendy, that's a big ouch! I am on Medicare part D with Humana, so my circumstances are different, but Humana does have a different coverage schedule for my Exjade than their regular formulary. I would try with your Blue Cross to see if they use a specialty pharmacy for some of their expensive drugs. Exjade is a Novartis drug. Have you gone directly to Novartis to see if you can qualify for their assistance program? Here's hoping you have some luck.
Steve
