Ernesto I have Medicare as my primary insurance, Blue Cross/Blue Shield secondary, SilverScript thru Medicare for Rx and a co-pay to CVS/Caremark of $60 for Rytary. It would even pay for Tasigna if prescribed. This is set up by LA City Schools, but I earned my own SS/Medicare. I don't understand all this, but I think Medicare/SilverScript is why it pays. I was diagnosed 21 years ago and agree with you - a cure or even better treatment is unlikely. It is so discouraging to keep getting worse. what insurance do you have that wont pay for Rytary? that is a disgrace. -----Original Message----- From: Ernesto Divo Sent: Monday, December 26, 2016 10:02 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: $10,000 a month for Nilotinib How can I be thinking about the possibility of having my insurance pay for Linotinib / tasignia when they don't want to pay for Rytary. It seems insurance, pharma cos and the FDA are all in bed leaving PD patients to fend for themselves. I was diagnosed w PD 16 yrs ago and I've wasted my time waiting for these 'people' to get something done, approved or otherwise; so far, I haven't seen anything to make me think different about the medical, pharmaceutical and insurance industry, they're all crooks; who knows, maybe there's a cure and is laying in a vault somewhere far away from the public.
