Hi. I would first go to NEEDYMEDS.ORG. Depending on her diagnosis she might be approved by Genentech Oncology Access Solutions 888-249-4918, or the Brain Tumor Treatment Co-Payment Assistance Program 855-426-2672. She is well within the income requirements. Healthwell Foundation Copay Program 800-675-8416. Patient Access Network 866-316-7263.
In the state where she resides is there a elderly state prescription savings program? I am thinking because the drug is an injectable given at the doctor’s office it is a Part B drug and the part D won’t help with that drug but can be useful for her other meds.
Another idea is if she is new to Medicare and you have Supplemental plan K in her area, that will save in her cost also. Medicare will pay 80%, plan K will pay half of the 20% and she will pay the other half if the 20%. Plan K is affordable. I explain as after Medicare pays 80% of the approved cost of the drug , the Balance of 20% is split between them and the Supplement company.
I hope that helps your client.
Good Luck

Op, is a long-term, experienced agent. To me, the original post suggested client could obtain Medigap coverage but financial concerns prevented her from doing so. The general tenor of the post suggested to me this might also be a situation where low commission concerns would be set aside. Hence my question.

That med is made by Genetech and they are one of the easier companies to get the drugs free from. I have dealt with them for Xolair and Rituxin previously. Genentech: Our Participating Medicines
She should sign up for this based on meds being unaffordable and they will ship the drug free to her provider to use.
Alternatively there are grants for Macular disease like the one through https://www.mygooddays.org/patients/diseases-covered/macular-disease but it doesn't cover a ton.
