So we finally got some really good news the other day. My grandma is on this special medication for the anemia. It is a shot that she gets 3 times a week. And it's super expensive. Without insurance the cost is $2400 a month! With insurance her co-pay is $600 a month. No one can pay that, let alone my grandparents who are on social security. Then we found out that there is a gap in insurance. Apparently there is a cap to what medicare will pay, and she has reached that cap. So they were going to have to pay all the cost of the medicine, up until they paid $4300 out of their pockets. They had already paid $1100 in copays so this left $3200 left to be paid this year.
Well we found out that they don't have to pay up to his amount. I'm not really sure exactly how it works, but they only have to pay up to $1600 out of pocket. So that's only $500 more. Then everything will be covered at 95%. That means the medicine will only cost $120 a month! Much more do-able.
We thought this was good enough news, but then we got some more! We had submitted her information to a prescription assistance program that will help with medical costs. And we just found out that she got approved! They will re-imburse her up to $1200 a month for medical costs. So they aren't going to have to pay for any medical costs! Hallelujah! We are so thankful for this blessing! We had been praying for something like this, and the Lord has blessed us. God is so good!
