May 29, 2010: thanks to one of our loyal visitors who made us aware of how you Zometa - zoledronic acid may be prescribed and reimbursed. There have already confirmed a number of people and our thanks for these tips. So once again been highlighted.
Many cancer patients in recent years have struggled to get prescribed Zometa - zoledronic acid. While many studies have shown that Zometa significantly better than APD. Now this is a problem of the hospitals that Zometa is not willing to pay from their budget but want to benefit from hospital visits. APD's why they prefer to write then they can declare a day treatment, while only 20 minutes Zometa administration costs them almost nothing and they can claim under the declaration system introduced several years ago.
If you qualify for Zometa - zoledronic acid can then proceed as follows, we have the tip of a patient here verbatim. She had been prescribed 5 times Zometa her oncologist after a long moan and then got to hear this:
After I had made an appointment for infusion, I was an assistant to a noted oncologist at home service, the nurse comes over to your home, arrange with the pharmacy near where you live and you do not go to the hospital. This shows nurse employed by Lilly. This is a nationwide service that Novartis (pharmaceutical manufacturer of both Zometa APD) the artsten / hospitals provide to their patients as they choose, for example, the expensive Zometa.
He told me that if the administration outside the hospital and is being conducted by Lilly, Zometa (a specialist has told) directly from the pharmacy in the town of patient ordered and therefore outside the scope of the hospital costs. Pharmacy declares to health insurer. To do this there must be to get a form completed and signed by a specialist.
Whether and how this could be an option for someone, would you to do the following:
- Directly through your specialist or a form to complete and sign, or if that fails
- By Lilly pose the question: how can I get Zometa? www.eurocept-homecare.nl
