Insurance Won’t Cover Revlimid - HELP
Hi,
My aunt has been taking Revlimid for 4 years now. It has been covered this entire time, but this past month the insurance company stopped covering it. The doctor has completed and appeal. My aunt has appealed. The doctor completed a peer to peer. The insurance company just will not cover it. They also will not tell her what comparable drug is covered under the plan. The drug is $14,900 without insurance, so it's not like she can pay that out of pocket. She currently is insured through Maryland Medicaid and Maryland Physician Care.
I have emailed the health commissioner, no response. We have contacted the manufacturer of the drug via phone and a financial assistance form, no response.
Does anybody have any experience with dealing with the insurance company / how to get this covered? It's obviously medically necessary. I just need some information / pointing in a direction. I feel like everything we have done has been met with a dead end.
Thank you.

Sorry I don't have any
Sorry I don't have any specific advice (other than maybe try a lawyer??) but I do pray for your aunt
I know it's not easy when they stop covering an expensive medication.

I take Revlimid and my medication is taken care of by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society go to their website and apply for help and they pay for the medication every month, also they offer help with other cancer related issues, this is the best thing I ever did since I started treatment.
