Erasing a Chronic Patient’s Medical Debt
Disease/diagnosis: Asthma
Drug(s): Xolair
Program(s): Genetech – free drug program
Cost covered: $49,649.66
The patient was ill and hospitalized, and the advocate was working directly with her referral provider’s office.
Atlas identified a patient with a very high out-of-pocket responsibility for her Asthma treatments. She had been treated for over a year but was unable to make any payments and had been sent to collections. Our advocate quickly began looking into free medication programs and found the best option - Genetech’s Patient Foundation for her Xolair treatments.
She was approved and enrolled with the help of her referring provider. In total, Atlas was able to order 19 replacements for Xolair, saving the patient nearly $19,000 in medical debt and recovering $49,649.66 to the hospital.
