Re: Tischon Orphan Drug Status

[Guest guest]

Not yet, as I posted yesterday, it doesn't have market approval yet from

the FDA. www.fda.gov.

You cannot get a prescription filled for Qgel.

But, I do get my insurance to pay for it. I have a letter from my doctor

stating its nessity. Then I order a one month suppy and turn it in with a

note that it is covered under orphan drug status. I also enclose a copy of

the appeal from last year where it says it is covered under orphan drug

status. They then reimburse me 75%.

Tishcon does not have marketing approval, just are in trials but based on my

other symptoms and my family history they approved it with the letter.

I am in the process now of trying to get a letter for my son.
