Managing the Cost of Myeloma Care
The picture of medical coverage for a patient varies on a case-by-case basis, and navigating the cost of care often falls in the hands of care partners. While some patients have private insurance, others are on state-administered plans. Some may be on COBRA plans (https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/health-plans/cobra) from previous employers, or transitioning to the federal Medicare program (https://www.medicare.gov/). For some patients, the cost of myeloma drugs may require coverage assistance. Visit the following links to learn more:
