Asthma Medicare fund open at Copays.Org [View all]

I have severe asthma, and take an extremely expensive, triple-actiom inhaler that I'd never be able to afford without this copay assistance program.

So I wanted to share. Sometimes it's only open for a day, so I signed up for text messages telling me when one of the three asthma funds open up.

If you go to the website, you'd choose "Patients and Family", then in the list of conditions choose "asthma". (You do need a doctor to confirm your diagnosis of asthma, but most doctors know when they prescribe such expensive medicine that patients need help to afford it. Trelegy, the one I take, is approved for both asthma and COPD. I have both from all my damaging lung infections, but he writes it "for asthma" and it works. So people with damage from COVID who are prescribed that med, or updraft treatments, regular rescue inhalers, etc, it may help you too.

Good luck with managing your chronic conditions!
