Hello @manuelpo, and Welcome to Mayo Connect!
I'm happy you were able to find the Camzyos group and ask questions about coverage. I have zero information I can share, as I had to have open heart surgery for my HOCM, but hopefully another member can advise you on where to seek information about insurance coverage for this drug. I have read it is crazy expensive without being on the trial.
How long have you had HOCM? Is your cardiologist able to help you with insurance information?

Hi Debra,

Blessings to you on your open heart surgery. I was born with HOCM. My first doctor appointment is this coming March. I know the camzyos cost $8,500 per month. I will ask my Cardiologyst insurance info but my 30 year experienced Insurance Broker told me I have to have a life event to qualify to change my current health insurance that does not cover this new cardiologyst. My insurance covers the previous cardiologyst that does not treat advanced 2 centimeters HOCM in my heart. Thank you for your response.
