This is an important bill. Every day, I receive numerous phone calls from patients who simply cannot afford Temodar (or Gliostine). As the administrator of a copayment assistance program, I have the opportunity to witness the copayment bills from countless patients, and the exorbitant charges are truly alarming. It is disheartening to come across bills where a pharmacy would demand over $12,000 for a Temodar prescription, with the patient being responsible for a copayment of $2,500. Astonishingly, by contrast, if the same prescription were obtained from Costco using a coupon from GoodRx.com, paying in cash without insurance, it would cost less than $100. It is evident that someone is profiting immensely from these drugs, while we bear the burden of exorbitant costs.
