Actually Zytiga is generic and I wasn’t paying more than about $40 for it.
Yes, my January order of Nubeqa Cost $.50 less than $2100 (This year‘s limit) So I didn’t have to pay anything for drugs for the rest of the year. Yes, that is expensive but worth it because of the lack of side effects, especially compared to Zytiga. He could also usually arrange to pay that over time.
There are a couple of other options for paying for Nubeqa. Bayer Has a deal with people that are lower income can get it for free. I know someone that’s gotten it for three years in a row for free.
Then there’s another option. Someone in this forum has come up with a website where they can get drugs at very low cost or pay nothing. Unfortunately, I did not capture the website somebody else reading this message may have been able to capture it and give you that information..

@jeffmarc I was quoting the full abbie cost for 3 months, not one. With insurance coverage it would be a lot less. Even if it was $1K the insurance companies will resist a move to a $10K Nubequ, Erleada, or Xtandi. They may not cost the patient more but do cost the insurer. Therefore, preapproval with a good reason why the generic cannot be used is almost always required.
Lowest cash price is from Mark Cubans Cost Plus Drugs (zip 33810 if location required). There 90-day price is about $195 with shipping for both. They carry a very limited number of brand drugs and no specialty brand drugs so none of the ARSIs, Orgovyx. Mail order only so no doctor or pharmacist assisted (Lupron, Firmagon, etc.) or scheduled drugs either. A fixed per fill fee + medication so generics can get very cheap if you can get a 360-day prescription. For 5mg Tadalafil it is $22.80 for 360 and $16.75 for 180 pills (includes US shipping but not any state taxes). Length is limited by any state regulations.
