I’m seeing one of the doctors quoted in the article and they say nobody knows what’s going on with pricing or what will happen next year when the drug gets approved.
The coupon is from the manufacturer and brought the total cost to $25 out of pocket. However, in Oct the rules changed and now there is lots of confusion about eligibility and costs. Most pharmacies refuse to deal with this at all, and last week I paid $500 (for a monthly dose).
- MerelyMortal 4y agoAt let's say a 10 pound per month weight loss, that means losing 100 pounds would only cost $5,000. I know it doesn't quite work that way, but $500/month sounds a lot, but $5,000/100lb sounds like a bargain.
