I know it is 20% of the Medicare approved amount but I need an answer in dollars. I am sure I have clients getting one or the other but I only hear about problems. If the 20% was HUGE, I am sure I would hear about it. Anybody?

This seems to vary from one pharmaco to another. I have seen it both ways. My client on a $13,000 a month Rx for cancer treatment after using up chemo and radiation was distraught, until we called the mfg and client was given 100% paid benefit. It was income related. I have seen 200% to 500% of poverty level as a measure, varying degrees of help by income and manufacturer.Justintime,
Most of these discounts from the manufacturers that I have seen do not work with any govt program, here is a bullet point from Amgen's site -
I would love to be wrong about this because it would be great for many of my clients.
- Must not be a participant in any federal-, state-, or government-funded healthcare program such as Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, Medicaid, Medigap, Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense (DoD), or TriCare
I see a lot of "mice type" on tv commercials and notice one last weekend that said it could not be used with Medicare.
