We didn't apply for Remistart last year, since we hadn't heard of it until after we had already reached our out-of-pocket max for the year. I'm applying for next year, and have a question for those of you who use the program. We have a 20% copay on infusion drugs, and we pay it on the day of the infusion, as we check in. It will be about $700 for the first infusion of the year, and then $300 for the second infusion, and then we'll have hit our out-of-pocket max for the year.
I talked to someone at Remistart, and they said that they can mail us a check (rather than sending a rebate card), since we'll have paid the co-pay ourselves already. But they said that the check will be in my daughter's name, since she's the patient. My daughter doesn't have a bank account, and my bank account is with an out of state bank, so I don't know how we'd even cash the check. I guess she can open a bank account with a local bank. Anyway, I'm sure we can figure it out, but just wondered if anyone else has done their rebate this way, with a check.
