I haven’t taken Rezurock, since Jakafi is working for me. My doctor mentioned it as the next step in case Jakafi wasn’t working or my red blood cell count was too low. Fortunately, my blood count stabilized after a drop and I didn’t need to go on Rezurock.

As far as my experience with specialty pharmacy, my Jakafi comes from them. My insurance has to approve it every year and then I receive my monthly supply of meds my mail. The company contacts me by text when it’s time for a refill and I get it within 3-5 days. I only pay my regular deductible. I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

Rezurock is a newer drug and getting it approved by the insurance may be challenging. I agree with Lori that your transplant team has a lot of experience navigating insurance approvals for drugs like that. My BMT Mayo doctor is in Phoenix and they really stepped up to get everything arranged for me. Hope your doctor’s office is able to help you navigate insurance and specialty pharmacy as well!
