Julio B. Saves $3300 on Monthly Rx Meds

Julio B. has gotten his money’s worth - and then some - from being an iCan Med Choice member.

Prior to enrolling in the program in 2011, Julio was being charged roughly $3300 for his monthly prescriptions. He suffered with neuropathy, psoriatic arthritis and was a diagnosed diabetic. In turn, Julio had to take Vicodin and Percocet for pain management and went for Remicade® infusions to treat his arthritic ills. Julio still does all of the above to this day. Only now, he does it with no price tag attached.

"After COBRA ran out, and before the ACA was enacted, I wasn’t able to purchase a major medical plan because I had pre-existing conditions," says Julio. "In desperation, I turned to iCan’s RX Advocacy program, not knowing what to expect, or if they could help me at all. I just knew that my medications are what enabled me to live a normal life and I needed them regardless."

"Happily, they were able to assist me and I now have my pain meds delivered to my doorstep at NO cost, and my Remicade infusion meds are sent directly to my Rheumatologist every two months. Those treatments alone used to cost between six (6) to seven (7) thousand dollars each, and I literally pay nothing for them. So, when I think of the nominal fee that I pay for my annual Med Choice membership, versus the thousands that I’ve saved over the past 3 years - being a member has definitely had its rewards and returns."
