How are you doing on Trikafta? Benefits? Side-Effects?

I am doing well on Trikafta. I’ve had no side effects. I’m blessed! I think it’s literally keeping me alive. Nobody has any idea of my CF unless I tell them. I’m on Medicare and Aetna. I met my 1100 deductible with Pulmozyme in January. Now everything is covered with no deductible. I was told that at this time Trikafta doesn’t have an assistance program.

@tinaesims It’s my understanding that Vertex doesn’t have an assistance program for Medicare or Medicaid recipients. Before the out-of-pocket expenses were capped at a lower rate for Medicare recipients, programs like Healthwell were often a lifesaver for financial help. They were for me.
