I was recently prescribed Dupixent for long-Covid-related exacerbated asthma which put me in the hospital for 8 days in mid-March. Copay for Dupixent from my Humana Medicare Advantage plan? $1600 every two weeks! Now checking with pulmonologist if I can walk the tightrope to see if my pulmonary symptoms since I had Covid in May (pneumonia x2, one with an overnight ER visit, once with a 5-day hospitalization; bronchitis x3; 10 weeks of recurring episodes of asthma with intermittent 12-day treatments, then taper with oral Prednisone; latest hospitalization began with a 911 call when my pulse ox dipped below 85; so much IV steroids in latest hospitalization that I had benign visual hallucinations) are gone for good, or if I have to go on the begging circuit with Humana and with the manufacturer of Dupixent. Simply put, the system sucks.
