@boatsforlife, Thank you, boatsforlife, for connecting with your Canadian experience. I have been reading your posts and they are very informative and helpful.
Just wondering about the financial aspect, did your cardiologist get OHIP, Trillium or your provincial provider to pay for it? I understand it is $13000/year and I don’t have private health insurance.
All the best to everyone on this journey.

@bepeacefulall - financially, when I signed on the numbers being tossed around were something like US$89000 per year. I have no idea about how valid those numbers were except to say that it would have been out of my reach at 1/8 of that, so I understand your concern. I'm in Alberta, so it wouldn't have been OHIP/Trillium, but I really don't know how they handled it. The REMS program (I hope it still exists for you) came with a nurse-case-manager who navigated all of this for me. I *believe* (but could be wrong) that the manufacturer still has a program that can assist with the costs beyond what provincial/private can cover. Your cardiologist will be well connected with how it all works. Good luck with the whole thing.
