My hematologist is recommending that I start on Procrit.

Can anyone tell me how it is covered for MDS patients on Medicare? Part B or Part D?

Did anyone have difficulty recently getting coverage on private major medical for Procrit?

What was your cost? What side effects did you run into?

The hospital is working on answering the coverage questions for me, but I wonder what others have run into.Linda

Hi Linda,

My Procrit injections were covered by Medicare Part B since I received same at a medical facility. There was no resistance to pay by either Medicare or my medigap insurance. Neither was there any out of pocket charge for the drug (except of course the Medicare deductible). I did not experience any side effects – too bad it didn’t work for me. Hope you respond well.
