Breathing A Little Easier Now
Disease/diagnosis: Severe Persistent Asthma
Drug(s): Xolair
Program(s): Genentech
Cost covered: $6,000
I cried when I got the bills and then cried tears of happiness when the assistance was applied. I didn’t know anything like this existed or that I had options.
When one of our patient advocate’s patients with severe persistent asthma was prescribed medication by her pulmonologist, she assumed it would be covered in full. But after her second infusion treatment, she was left with a $6,000 out-of-pocket cost after insurance for the treatment.
Even though her daily symptoms made it hard for her to breathe, she was prepared to stop the treatment. Atlas platform helped our patient advocate quickly match the patient to an ideal assistance program that would cover the $6,000 and any further charges that may come about during treatment. The patient was overjoyed and was able to continue the treatments that kept her breathing!
