Copay Accumulator

Do you use copay cards to access your clotting factor? What if those cards were used by your insurance company but didn’t go towards your deductible or out-of-pocket max so you end up with a huge bill for your factor? This is called Copay Accumulator Adjustment Programs and they are the latest insurance tactic to control overall healthcare costs and could mean surprise bills for bleeding disorder patients. Our episode is with Kollet Koulianos, senior director of payer relations for The National Hemophilia Foundation, an expert on these programs. Join us as we walk through the mechanics of this issue, hear a patient’s story of dealing with this issue firsthand and how to advocate for yourself if you find yourself in this situation.
