any assistance with sct high co-pay?
Our insurance has an $8,000 co-pay for sct. Does anyone know where we can get some assistance with this fee? I have found several places that assist with medications but none that help with the big amount. Thank you for any info you have and can share! Lori

Some Co-Pay Resources
Lori,
You may have already checked this out, but, just in case, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has a co-pay assistance program. Details are here: http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/all...item_id=452658 The Chronic Disease Fund does co-pay assistance: http://www.gooddaysfromcdf.org/patients/process AAMDS lists a bunch of programs here: http://www.aamds.org/aplastic/inform...ial_resources/ I know nothing at all about any of these programs, but thought I could at least save you some hunting, if you haven't checked these out already. Take care! Greg

Thank you Greg. I cannot believe there is an additional deductible for transplants! How do other people do it? I'll check these out. My husband tells me not to worry -- BUT! Thanks!!! Lori
