What financial assistance options exist for Medicare beneficiaries struggling with psoriasis medication costs?
Medicare beneficiaries have several options to help manage the cost of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis treatments:
Secondary Insurance Coverage
Consider enrolling in a secondary insurance plan alongside Medicare. This can help cover costs that Medicare doesn't fully pay for. Options include:
- Commercial insurance plans
- Veterans Affairs benefits
- Employer-based plans
Patient Assistance Programs
The National Psoriasis Foundation offers a free Patient Navigation Center that can guide you through financial assistance options and help you understand your coverage.
Important Note About Copay Cards
Unfortunately, copay assistance cards from drug manufacturers are typically only available for people with private insurance, not Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries. However, some manufacturers may offer other patient assistance programs specifically for Medicare enrollees.
State Prescription Drug Support
Your state may offer prescription drug assistance programs. It's worth checking what's available in your area.
Don't hesitate to reach out to the National Psoriasis Foundation's Patient Navigation Center for personalized help navigating these options. They can assist you in finding resources that fit your specific situation.
