What are other survivors doing about pancreatic enzymes replacement?

First prescription for Zen Pep - $354/month (20,000, to take 3xday with meals). Then we had to pay more in order to get the second prescription - 10,000 - to take before snacks. Thought this was necessary as I wasn't gaining weight and just too skinny. So $500/month - and maybe have to take forever. But then, as I kept asking for some help or other option, I heard from the hospital mail order delivery (I live in CO, and am seen by UC Health), and it was about 50% less to get it this way. Definite helps! Maybe check if you have any mail order options.

I take Zenpep, also. I made an extraordinary discovery. I hope you fit the criteria.
It’s called Nestle Patient Assistance Program. Your doctor will have to send your Rx to them. Address is:Nestle Patient Assistance Program.
PO BOX 66520, St. Louis, MO.
They will fill your Rx FREE if you meet the criteria. I have been getting free Zenpep for two years and counting. I got in the donut whole (I have SS) and had to pay $900 for one month, then it went back to the 300 to 400 range,
If you are interested call the Patient Assistant Coordinator, Monday through Friday. You have to renew every year with your doctor’s Rx. It’s truly a life safer if you qualify. Also, your pills arrive on time, Being sent before you run out. They say renew when 3 weeks left. I don’t know if you are in America as I don’t know the procedure, if any, for out of America.
Hope this can work for you. I am not allowed to post phone numbers. You will have to look it up.
