Cost of Camzyos

Posted by Teddy Bear @bbranin, Aug 13 11:07am

I was lucky enough to be accepted in the BMS Cover My Meds program for the last year. I’m not sure if I’ll meet the income requirements this year (in October) when my initial 1 yr agreement expires. When I recently looked, income needed to be under 150% of the poverty level, which is quite low.
The drug cost is $8000-$9000 for 30 capsules
Because the drug is not on any Part D plan formularies, the new 2025 $2000 drug cap does not apply to this Camzyos.
I would appreciate anyone’s comments, insight or experience in obtaining Camzyos.
Thanks!

Hi all!
Non American here so please excuse my ignorance, but why is Camzyos in the US so expensive? I mean, I know it is an expensive drug and made in Europe but the price discrepancy is wild. In Europe it is 1400 eur (still one of the most expensive drugs, but it’s completely covered by our insurance), but 8000-9000 dollars? Who in the world could afford that?? Even paying 2000 out of pocket seems ridiculous to me. I just feel this is absurd and just beyond exploitative of patients.

American Pharmaceutical Corporations do that all the time. Americans pay more and other countries pay a lot less, yes a lot LESS!!!
