How can you afford Attruby (acoramidis) for ATTR amyloidosis?

It's understandable to feel frustrated about the cost, especially when you haven't noticed changes yet. Keep in mind that medications like Attruby work to slow disease progression rather than produce immediate noticeable improvements, so benefits may take time to become apparent.

Here are ways to help manage the cost:

Manufacturer Support Programs:
- Contact the drug company directly about their patient assistance program
- Your doctor will need to submit a start form
- A case manager will assess your eligibility for coverage assistance
- Many people taking similar ATTR medications pay little to nothing out of pocket through these programs
- They can also help if insurance delays coverage or during plan changes

Additional Financial Assistance:
- The HealthWell Foundation offers funds for amyloidosis treatment costs (requires insurance coverage and meeting demographic criteria)
- National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) can help with out-of-pocket medication costs
- Check these programs regularly as fund availability changes

Insurance Appeals:
If your insurance denied or limited coverage, you can appeal. Your doctor may need to provide additional documentation or participate in peer-to-peer review with insurance company physicians to explain why this treatment is medically necessary for you.

Don't hesitate to reach out to these resources - they exist specifically to help people access these expensive but important therapies.
