The Medicare lottery is now open and is accepting applications. The application form to get into the lottery is 18 pages long and requires a PDF viewer. The application also has to be filled out and signed by your physician. An article in SeniorJournal today gives more information on the application process. Those who are chosen by lottery will receive Medicare assistance for Gleevec but will still have to pay a $5,298.00 annual co-payment. Low income patients who have exhausted their assets down to or below poverty level who are chosen in the lottery can receive Gleevec for a reduced co-payment ranging from $60.00 to $638.00 per year. Those who are not chosen will have to wait until 2006.
