You need to do a couple of things.  First of all, find out what your co-payment is, by calling your insurance company.  Second of all, you need to call Pfizer "FirstResource" and ask them about "co-pay assistance"  You can get the phone number from your oncologist.  Actually, your oncologist can call them for you.  Pfizer will call your insurance company and research all your benefits for you if you give them permission, i.e., sign a release.

My best guess would be Genentech. Try looking it up on the web. I'm pretty sure they're one of the top.

My husband is in remission from Hodgkin's for the second time. I thank God we have insurance. When he went through it for the first time, when we were engaged, we happened to ask our nurse what would happen if we didn't have insurance. She told us that he would be getting treatment for no cost because it is a cancer, a life-threatening disease, and the state and hospital could not deprive someone of getting treatment.\n\nOf course, I do not know what state you are from so things may be different. I would ask the doctor, and see if the hospital offers assistance for those who can't afford things like he will need. Believe me, ask for any help you can get, you might have a social worker to help you with the info. I remember when we had to pick up shots called Neupogen. They are to boost white blood cells so he can stay on track with his schedule of treatments. I went to pick it up at the pharmacy and they told me it just went through with the insurance. If it didn't we'd be paying over $300.00 for about 10 days worth.\n\nGood luck to you both, and you are in my prayers. Before you know it, it will be gone and you'll have your normal lives back, just put your trust in God and everything will be okay.

He should not worry about paying for treatemtns at this time and get what ever treatements he needs. I am a cancer survivor and had no money to pay any of my medical bills, but I got all my treatememts I needed and today I am cancer free. I know at my hospital they had a "wrtie off program" where they white so much of the bill that cannot be paid if you are going though something like your boyfirend is going though, ALso there is ACS, CancerCare, and the Patient Addvociate Foundation, and Lance Armstrong Foundtation that is out there to help people like your boyfriend, they helped me and they can help him. Most of these organizations can be ffound on the intrenet. Take Care and god bless!\n\n*)

Ask your doctor to refer you to a social worker. They usually work at a hospital or clinic and should be able to help you find local funds.\n\nOther possibilities include churches or friends and neighbors raising money for you.\n\nNational Cancer Institute: Financial Assistance\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/support/financial-assistance\n\nThe local chapter of the American Cancer Society may also be able to assist you in some way.

A county hospital is your best bet. We med students and internists and residents are always available to help. There is this thing called ATP where you pay 80 dollars and everything else is paid for (i.e. lab work, diagnostic imaging, etc).
