I’m in Canada and BMS seems to participate with the cardiologist in monitoring the prescription of camzyos. The cardiologist offered it to me last November and he has monitored me consistently since then. Ofttimes while sitting in his office he’ll refer to the BMS protocol for this drug. I feel like both of us have ample support. I’m impressed.

Have to agree completely with @susanml. Also in Canada. I think (but not 100% sure) I was my cardiologist's first Camzyos patient. If not, certainly one of his first. He seemed to have pretty close contact with BMS, especially in (my) early days. And the BMS "program" - not sure how the US and Canadian programs compare, but I have been astounded at how quickly and thoroughly all of my questions were addressed through my nurse-case-manager. Drug interactions, food interactions, ... any concerns at all. Right from the start, they dealt with my insurance company, my cardiologist, the dispensing pharmacy. Very much a case of "leave it with me, that's why I'm here." The support has been wonderful.
