asked the question about VEXAS, the medication is very expensive, “Jakafi”, how can I get assistance with the cost of this medication. I am 73 years old on NYS Medicare, with Excellus supplemental insurance. Thanks Joe

Joe @mayo2290, Here's some information I found on financial assistance for the drug.

"How to afford Jakafi?
The IncyteCARES for Jakafi Patient Assistance Program (PAP) helps eligible patients who do not have prescription drug insurance or have trouble affording their out-of-pocket costs for Jakafi. No purchase contingencies or other obligations apply."

Hi @mayo2290, Joe, I hope you saw the helpful information that @johnbishop provided about the financial assistance program to help with the cost of Jakafi. I suggest talking with a nurse or social worker to help with getting funding through the program.
