more about fighting insurance for exjade

Thanks Cindy and Steve for your input.
Yes, Blue Cross does have a specialty pharmacy called BioScrip that I need to use to obtain the Exjade. They have approved for us to get it for that awful copay of $2,114.95 a month for one year.
I will check out several other "help" organizations (thanks Steve for the CD link) and also start bugging Blue Cross about how often they add drugs to their formulary for our plan.

Thanks Cindy for suggesting the insurance commissioner. I will also look into that.

Novartis has said that they will let us apply for help now that we have an official denial letter from Healthwell Foundation so that is another avenue but they didn't sound too encouraging. They normally only assist people with no insurance. Of course.

Disgusted in California... Wendy
