My nephrologist wants me to take Jardiance for CKD?

@gently thank you. I've been researching it and it appears it is approved for CKD in my situation. Now I'm trying to work my way through my Medicare part d coverage and see if it's going to cost an arm and a leg or if I can get away for a few fingers.

I started Jardiance the 1st of March, after determining that I would reach my deductible after 3 months ($600) - I have Part D coverage through Wellcare. I am paying $204 out of pocket each month, but what a small price to pay for better kidney health. After 3 months, my share will be about $50 per month. Still expensive, but doing whatever I can to help out my kidneys!

@steveutnv Can this med be compounded? That would be a cheaper way to go.
