Disease/diagnosis: Urticaria

Drug(s): Xolair

Program(s): Genentech Copay Program

Cost covered: $1,337

Thanks so much for all that help you provide. Without it, I wouldn't be able to receive this injection which decreases the severity of my symptoms so that I can function normally most of the time and take care of my precious family. I am so very grateful for you and this program.

A patient diagnosed with urticaria was prescribed Xolair as part of her treatment. The patient had been making large payments to the hospital to cover her patient responsibility and was struggling to make ends meet. This medication was critical for her to have some quality of life and get through her day, in addition to caring for her family. 

Our patient advocate was able to enroll her in a Genentech copay assistance program to cover some of her out-of-pocket costs. She was very thankful to have our advocate help with her claims and reduce the costs she had to pay. This help has eased her stress, and she can now focus on getting better and caring for her family.
