Post by: gafry53 on October 24, 2020, 03:50:59 pm
Lost my Ryan White drug help with Biktarvy. The cost is $ 3200 per month.
Any help finding a drug to replace this Drug would be helpful
If not will have to go with out medication next year

how did you lose RW? Earn too much? because when your earnings drop back you can re-apply - although there may be a 3-6 month delay

If you're having to pay out of pocket now, check with the medication website for patient assistance to help with the cost and/or copays. https://www.biktarvyhcp.com/support/cost-assistance

have you spoken with a RW rep about your situation or someone at your clinic? Many healthcare providers have funding and/or other avenues to help patients stay on their medications.

Order online from an Indian Pharmacy.  The generic is traffic. 

If you can switch to genvoya, contact Pulse Clinic in Bangkok.

Try the patient assistance program at Gieliad.

Just got my last prescription before lose of insurance from the Ryan White program.

The Biktarvy cost $ 3800 dollars crazy. Canada price is less than half $1600 for a

month. Guess the USA doctor and Politicians need the money so we pay more than

 double the price. Maybe will got with out when out of medication tried of the games.
