    I was on MediCare, with Part D coverage with Humana, in mid 2019 when I was prescribed Esbriet.  I was told it had to go through a Humana specialty pharmacy, not where I normally got prescriptions.   It was approved for a year with a copay of $1900 a month which was far beyond my ability to cover without going into credit card debt.  After several attempts for assistance through different foundations I learned I made to much a year to quality…too much for some assistance, but not enough to afford the copay.  Cedars got me in touch with Genetech who eventually provided it free. After those several months of wrangling I took it for about a month only to discover I couldn’t take it after breaking out in a rash.  I hope you have a better resolution.
