Sometimes people with cancer have a hard time getting the medication they need. Every story is unique to each person. Perhaps by sharing your experience with YesRx, you will enable others to see themselves, feel supported, and experience similar relief.
YesRx is proud to help clinicians provide no-cost cancer medication to patients in Michigan, and provide support for people to donate their unopened cancer medication to patients in need.
“It is so comforting to know that patients have another option available to assist them especially in the early phase of their treatment when anxiety can be very high. I have also had several patients comment on how grateful they are to be able to donate their unused meds and help someone else.”
“When we heard about YesRx during the bi-annual MOQC meeting we were extremely excited about the potential resources that would be available for our patients. We started working with YesRx immediately and have been able to obtain free donated cancer medications for many of our patients who were struggling to afford copayments and/or awaiting copayment assistance/ manufacturer funding. With the ever rapidly changing and growing field of oncology, new oral treatments are continuously being introduced. While these therapies allow our patients to continue their fight, the copays can be extremely restrictive for some patients. YesRx has allowed our patients to be able to start their therapies in a timely manner and decrease their financial stress so they can continue to focus on fighting their disease.”
“Being a part of YesRx has been one of the most satisfying things in my career to date. It makes a world of difference for everyone involved in it.”
“I was glad that YesRx was able to provide a very important medication that I needed daily. I was worried if I couldn’t get it due to insurance issue at the time. I am thankful for the program being there in a time of need.”
“Thank you for this month’s medication! I had a grant and the end of the year came and now I don’t qualify. I don’t have 3800 a month for my deductible, all I make is 2800 bucks a month.”
“When you have cancer everything is difficult. The (YesRx) process for me has been really easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.”
“We were playing the waiting game. It was not a game we wanted to play. Waiting for tests to be scheduled. Waiting for a diagnosis. Waiting for more test results. Waiting to see a doctor and get an understanding of what we were dealing with and what to expect. By the time all the test results were in and we finally got to see an oncologist, we were afraid it was too late to receive treatment. WE DIDN’T HAVE TO WAIT!!! The YesRx program allowed my mom the opportunity to start on her medication just 2 DAYS after her appointment! We were told it would take weeks to get pre-approval from the insurance company or a medication grant. This program made it possible for her to start treatment immediately, before the cancer progressed any further. We cannot thank YesRx and the people who donate their cancer medication enough!!! You may have just saved my mother’s life!”
“I’ve seen firsthand how YesRx improves access to medications for our patients. Recently, a patient of mine was able receive her medication weeks earlier than anticipated, allowing her to start treatment sooner and avoid complications. This service has made a profound and positive difference, ensuring patients get timely access to their treatment.”
“YesRx provides a simple process for accessing medication for our patients, and has also allowed us to donate medications to other cancer patients across the State of Michigan.”
“YesRx has made a tremendous impact on our patients! Through YesRx, we have been able to increase access to anticancer medications as well as decrease medication waste. YesRx has allowed us to initiate patients on treatment faster and assist our patients who are experiencing financial toxicity or insurance coverage issues. Additionally, patients have appreciated the ability to donate their unused medications knowing that it may positively impact another cancer patient in the state of Michigan.”
“With YesRx, I was able to get a patient with newly diagnosed metastatic EGFR NSCLC on the medication they needed within 5 days. They otherwise had a cost-prohibitive copay and no assistance was possible due to alternative insurance. Without YesRx, they would likely have to wait a month before obtaining the drug. This is a MUCH needed program for our oncology patients that optimizes their care!”
“YesRx allowed my patient to not have a break in therapy when an issue arose with copayment funding. It was a seamless process! I requested medication on Monday and it arrived at my door on Wednesday in time for me to provide it for free to my patient. It is not often as an oncology social worker that I can facilitate something so critical for a patient in such a short time period. Thank you, YesRx! ”
“Our patient was applying for grants to help with her medication cost, the prescription she needed right away would have cost her $1,100. Thank you, YesRx! ”
“Our patient was so thankful to get started on their treatment with help from YesRx. This was our first time using the cancer drug repository program and we are so happy to know how simple the process is for patients.”
“Our patient started radiation therapy and needed concurrent medication that required a prior authorization. In just a few days YesRx helped our patient receive the medication they needed to get started. ”
“YesRx has allowed patients with a variety of access barriers to start medication within days. YesRx has also given people with extra, expensive medications the satisfaction of donating unused medication and knowing their supply will help other people with cancer.”
