BRINSUPRI is to be delivered tomorrow 10/01, via UPS. Yes, I have to sign for it. The ordering process has taken 10 days from when Dr Kanj put through the request. The preauthorization by Medicare/United Healthcare took a few days due to the weekend. AMBER pharmacy, based in Omaha, texted me and I was instructed to go to their link. Once all “paperwork “ was completed I was told my co-pay for 30 pills was $906. Apparently it’s $7,000 + if out of pocket! Luckily AMBER gave me information about filing for a grant: The Assistance Fund.
I went to the website, filled out the application, and was approved a few hours later. My co-pay is 0. In addition to Bronchiectasis I have MAC and will probably be starting “The Big Three” in December. Would be interested to hear from anyone who has started BRINSUPRI and is on antibiotics for MAC.
