Ordering Exjade in Canada

Hi Sharmin

You are welcome. We are really glad that the situation is moving in the positive direction. We sincerely hope you win the appeal.

Sharmin,

Don't know if the option of mail order is good in your case. In US, companies like Express Script, save money for a lot of people who are on regular medicine providing the prescription to the patient through mail. The mail order prescription companies send 3 month medicine for the cost of 1 month co-payment. Of course, the insurance company should pay the rest.

A quick search showed Canada Drug as an option and I do see Exjade is available.

Our doctor had appealed Blue Cross's decision - but the appeal was rejected    They still insist that we have not proven a contraindication to desferal    I am so distressed.

Hi Sharmin,

The contraindication to desferal is essential in your case. Your doctor has to prove that desferal side effects is effecting Little Mr. A's health to a much higher degree than normal (we had to build the same case for little Miss A). It is for the doctor to build sufficient evidence to prove such a case. I am not sure what was presented by your doctor to the blue cross, the proof needs to be strong. My only suggestion for now is to talk to your doctor and ask for the basis of the appeal (proof of contraindication) to desferal. If there is sufficient evidence in your doctor opinion, take your case to next level (file the lawsuit) against blue cross.

In the interest of time, you may want to continue with desferal or import Asunra (atleast six months supply) from South Asia (lot cheaper option) or buy exjade from here.

You know it is all about the money, desferal is free in Canada (covered as part of universal health care system) and exjade is not covered as such. The insurance companies knowing that desferal is a free option, resists the approval of exjade (a lot expensive drug) and demands contraindication to desferal.

Sharmin,

I hope this issue resolves somehow very soon,of course its distressing,Lil A is doing so well with exjade and who would wanna go back needle pricking every night,rest be assured you are in my prayers always.

Dear Friends,

We have some good news on this front.  My husband's work insurance (he began a new job this month) has covered the exjade completely.  This is great for us.  I do hope to push Blue Cross though because I know that there are many families in the area who are not able to get exjade because Blue Cross has rejected their claims.  I also hope that the Canadian govt will pick up some of the cost of exjade, as it does for desferal.

Thanks to everyone for their support,

Sharmin

Thanks Sharmin for sharing this good news , wish you and the other families all the success in your trails. Try to get many reports from differnt doctors that support your claim so they can be convienced

Good luck dear and congratulations

Sharmin,

This is a topic that should be brought up at the patient portions of the conference. Perhaps we can find some advice to give to others to help them in the never-ending battles with insurance companies.
