Genentech's Access to Care program

[Guest guest]

My doctor is going to attempt to gain insurance approval for Xolair by

saying that my throat disorder is causing mild asthma symptoms. I'm

pretty certain that insurance will still deny coverage, but it's worth

a shot at least!

This got me thinking about Genentech's Access to Care program again. If

my doctor is going to bring asthma into the equation, there MIGHT be a

chance that Genentech would assist me with the out-of-pocket costs of

Xolair.

I would love to hear from anyone who is on Genentech's Access to Care

program. What kind of process did you have to go through to get

approval? Did you have to speak to Genentech's representatives

yourself, or did the doctor do all the talking for you? Has anyone

received prescription assistance for Xolair when their asthma was only

considered " mild? "

Thanks!
