I too, have some of the same concerns you do. Ive been on sub just over a year.
I have a pretty good relationship with my doctor, but he’s out of the office wtih a broken leg right now. lol
Not really that its funny, but this is by far the first problem,if you can call it that, that Ive had with him or the office he’s out of. ive been getting my refills though, so it really hasnt been an issue.
I just wanted to tellyou that the patient assistance program thru RB has been a total relief for me. I was spending a THIRD of my take home pay on my suboxone Rx, befor I applied thru this program.
it only took about two weeks to get approved, each doctor can have THREE patients on it at once. I was the VERY FIRST one to ask my doctor about this program. he had NO IDEA.
and you get a card thats good for ONE YEAR of free suboxone, up to 24mg a day.
My year is up in October, and Im already sorta freaking out. but my doctor said he did call and ask about someone still qualifying, income wise, if they can get approved for another year.
they do it on a case-by-case basis, but my doctor said he’d write me an excellent letter of recomendation.
so I HOPE.
I know I’ll still qualify financially. up to two and half times the guideline of poverty for the federal gov’t is there parameters for income. Basically, a family of three, you can make up to $42,000 a year, and still qualify.
you can look it up at needymeds dot org.
theres a million things we can worry ourselves sick about. I just choose not too….LOL
I hope this eases your mind, at least a little
