Members expressed deep concern about how upcoming tariffs on drugs manufactured outside the US might affect access to expensive pulmonary hypertension medications like Adempas and Opsumit, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars monthly. Several members shared that they rely heavily on patient assistance programs and copay grants to afford these life-sustaining treatments, with some noting that even small copayments can be a struggle and that their Medicare Advantage or Part D plans are essential to their survival. A recurring theme was uncertainty about whether specialty pharmacies would continue to stock these medications if costs doubled and whether insurance plans might remove them from formularies, though some members found comfort in the current out-of-pocket maximum protections and advice to address worries as they arise rather than in advance.

I suggest you try to not worry about things that you cannot change, but only on things that you can change.

This year you have a limit so tariffs will not do anything except you will pay your max of the 2000 faster, next year the deductible is 2100 so safe next year too, but have to wait and see what will happen with tariffs and Trump changes after that, cross your fingers

I had not thought about this, thinking the meds were made here. ABQJane thanks for inquiring also thanks to all for the answers. I got my Adempas through a program. I was in the trial period. My insurance pays 23,000 for my Uptravi and the Winrevair 14,000. There's no way most of us could afford these medications otherwise.

I also take Adempas and have a grant helping pay for it. However, every January I have a copayment. This year was $679, which is nothing compared to what it cost monthly, if have have the funds. They will break up the copayment into 12 months installments. 😢 . So yes I am extremely concerned. But I also won't worry about it until the time comes.

Jane,
Adempas has never charged anything to my insurance. They have special grant and program monies to cover the costs.
Opsumit is a $20 copay.
Please look into Adempas if you're getting charged .
