Smile ExJade benefits with Federal Employees BCBS

Hi Wendy,

I went the route to obtain Exjade and was told my co-pay will be nearly $1000 ! On a whim I called the Mail Order Pharmacy, Medco, used by my insurance company (Federal Emploiyees Blue Cross/Blue Shield) to see if Exjade was on their list of medications available and much to my surprise it was. With prior approval (which I received today from my Doctor) they ordered a ninety day supply at my regular co-pay price of $35.00 ! ! ! ! !
I advised the lady that handles ordering meds at the doctor's office of this and she was quite excited. You may want to ask your Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance if they use Medco for mail-order prescriptions. I bet they do.
Good luck to you.

Bill
