Hello!

I would like to know what others are paying out-of-pocket for monthly Zoladex injections?  I am being told that the cost just recently tripled and want to see if others are experiencing this same issue.  I am located in the Midwest and have been paying out-of-pocket monthly approximately $25.  As of January, I am being told the cost of the injection has increased and now, after insurance, I am looking at $371 monthly out-of-pocket!!

So, would like to know what others are paying and if they've experienced an increase recently.  I am also curious because one rep at the hospitial billing office told me that I was being charged the wrong amount for the past 16 months.  So trying to figure out which story is true.  Would appreciate any input - thanks!!!

    Ouch, LeeLee! That's a big increase in your monthly cost!

    Until you hear from members who can add their personal experiences, the main Breastcancer.org site's Paying for Your Care section has information on Tips to Lower Medicine Costs. Scroll down on the linked page for information on Medicine Assistance Programs from pharmaceutical companies and others to help with meds (including Zoladex) and co-pays.
