“Denise”, a retired Mainer with health insurance, faced an impossible choice: pay a $2,000 monthly copay for her life-changing medication or go without. Prescribed Humira, which dramatically improved her quality of life Denise followed every step required by her insurance company, including securing prior authorization only to face an unaffordable cost.
In her desperation, Denise turned to our Outreach & Enrollment team – a lifeline for people navigating the healthcare system. Our team guided her through applying for manufacturer assistance, securing aid for Humira and two other medications, saving her thousands of dollars.
Denise’s story is not unique. Every day, Mainers like her face similar challenges, and without outreach and enrollment services, many would fall through the cracks. By protecting 340B Program savings, legislators can ensure that more people access life-saving care. Supporting these services is a commitment to the health and well-being of our community.
