Funding for EXJADE
I would like to explain how my Exjade is funded. First, I have Part D with Medicare. My medicare is managed through VIVA Medicare, a program that orginated several years ago through the University of Alabama.
When beginning Exjade treatment, my doctor presecribed the meds, then, I applied for help through the Chronic Disease Fund in Plano, Texas. After submitting an application and providing information about income and insurance verification, I was approved for a grant to help meet my co-pay. I was approved again, this year for a lesser amount. The grant picks up my co-pay until the grant is depleted.
I think there may be also some other foundations that grant money to chronically ill people. It has been a blessing; otherwise, my Exjade treatment would have been impossible.
