If you are receiving a treatment such as Bodex, Zuman, Zeler, Viopy or another specialty medication, you may be eligible for a program what helps reduce your out of pocket medication cost. These are called manufacturer savings program and they are offered by the pharmaceutical companies which manufacture the medications not by mahara medicine. They are generally designed for patients with commercial or private insurance and may help expenses such as your deductible, co-pay or work insurance. Some programs may also contribute towards certain eligible costs associated with administering the medication.
But this is something important to understand. A savings program is not insurance. It does not replace your health insurance priorization or your insurance company's medical necessity requirements. Your insurance processes the claim first. The savings program may then provide additional financial assistance toward expenses what a manufacturer consider eligible. Being enrolled also does not automatically guarantee that every treatment or claim will be paid. Each manufacturer has its own eligibility requirements, benefit limits, deadlines, and coverage rules. At Manhattan Pay Medicine, we help eligible patients navigate this process.
For medication, what we purchase and administer in our office, we may be able to assist with enrollment, documentation, claim submission, and follow up. And because manufacturer programs can change, our team reviews the current program requirements to help you understand what assistance may be available.
