Nope. I'm not familiar with Acreedo. Healthwell turned us down. We are getting the Exjade through the Novartis Patient Assistance Program. What they said initially made me believe that our portion of the payment would be around $130. The actual amount we pay every month is $292 but I still consider that CHEAP compared to the 2,114.95 that I was going to have to pay. It is still a non-formulary drug for Blue Cross. So, until that changes, I will hope that the Novartis PAP will continue to give it to us for $292. Just to show you how ANNOYING they are.... they will not accept a credit card or a personal check for the $292. So, I have to purchase a MONEY ORDER every month and send it in advance of when we need the Exjade. Then I have to call them to order it and only then will they send it. PLUS, they will only send it if I am there to receive it, so I have to have it sent to my workplace. Can you believe it?
