'Support Path' & Medicare - How Does it Work?
« on: November 18, 2014, 10:12:04 pm »
I understand that Gilead's $18K coupon for copay assistance does not work with Medicare. They do not / will not issue it for Medicare recipients.

Is there a coupon available, like the $18K coupon of Gilead's, for Medicare people?

Hi and welcome

You may want to post this as a new question so more folks can chime in with info. Also if you could mention what state you live in different states have different programs. Your doctors office should also be able to provide information about getting assistance for treatment

Good luck

Try the Patient Access Network Foundation.  http://www.panfoundation.org/

It's a good source of funding, and if they do not have the funds - they have a list of other foundations that can help you.  Good luck!
