Help For Reducing Cost of Medication

by George Bass on Thu Jan 19, 2012 3:51 pm

I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma about 8 months ago.

My problem right now is that as I am 68 years old and with the new year , I am out of the donut hole. My presciptions have increased exponentially. The biggest problem I have is $77 to $510.

I live in Massachusetts over 65 and have Humana as my drug provider.
Do you know any organization that can help reduce the cost of this medication?

Thank You very much
