    Hi Roger, The MDSF has prepared a Guide to Assistance Programs for insurance and reimbursement resources for MDS patients. Please email ahassan@mds-foundation.org with your postal address and we will be happy to send it out to you. In the meantime, I would call Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy toll free 1-877-977-9118. They provide clinical and reimbursement solutions for MDS patients. They have a dedicated team to help patients gain access to required medications.
