So, update on my Tecfidera.
After weeks of back and forth between Biogen and me, the specialty pharmacy who will be filling my prescription called the other day to schedule my delivery!! YAY!! Then the agent asked how I'd be paying for my $2800 copay. What? No, I'm in the $0 copay program through Biogen.
The pharmacy didn't have that information.
Basically, back to square one from weeks ago.
I called Biogen back and told them what the pharmacy said.
The agent confirmed that I am in the $0 copay program, and the information was sent to the pharmacy. However, the information was sent to a different pharmacy because that's who Biogen usually uses. My insurance company (who is NOT paying for the drug, by the way) demanded that my prescription be filled by a different pharmacy of their choosing.
Biogen called the pharmacy while I was on the phone, and relayed every piece of information needed to process my prescription.
Today, the pharmacy called to schedule my delivery (again). Lo and behold, all the planets and stars aligned, and they had all the information necessary to ship the Tecfidera at no cost to me! What a wonderful Christmas gift!
I will have my medicine on Tuesday the 29th!
So I'm not getting Tecfidera for Christmas, but it's pretty darn close.
