Taking the Burden Off a Patient’s Shoulders
Disease/diagnosis: Myasthenia Gravis
Drug(s): Gammagard Liquid
Program(s): Takeda Pharmaceuticals, PAN Foundation
Cost covered: $13,000
What a burden you have taken off my shoulders!
One patient advocate worked with a patient who had completely stopped her Gammagard Liquid treatments due to the high out-of-pocket costs. She simply couldn’t afford the treatments and chose to forgo her medication instead. She suffered greatly from muscle weakness and fatigue and had difficulty speaking or chewing her food.
After talking to her about what we do, our patient advocate asked her to let her try and find a patient assistance program to help, and she agreed. Not long after, our patient advocate called her back letting her know she was approved through the PAN Foundation for a $13,000 grant for her diagnosis. She was also able to secure an award to cover the cost of her Gammagard Liquid treatments! Her first claim was sent in the following morning. She couldn’t stop crying and promised to start her treatment again.
