About Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose (CPD) Blood-Pack Units in PL 146 Plastic and its cost

What is this medication? Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose (CPD) Blood-Pack Units in PL 146 Plastic are specialized medical products used for the collection, preservation, and storage of whole blood and red blood cells. The CPD solution inside the unit functions as an anticoagulant, which prevents the donor blood from clotting during and after the collection process. The specific chemical formulation containing citrate, phosphate, and dextrose helps maintain the viability of the blood cells by providing energy sources and regulating the acidity of the blood, ensuring it remains suitable for later transfusion.

The PL 146 plastic container is a flexible and biocompatible material designed to facilitate the safe handling and processing of blood components in clinical environments. These units are primarily utilized by blood banks and healthcare facilities to store donated blood for a specified duration, allowing it to be separated into various components like plasma or red cells if needed. By preserving the integrity and functionality of the blood, these packs ensure that patients receiving transfusions for surgery, trauma, or chronic medical conditions receive a safe and effective product.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose (CPD) Blood-Pack Units in PL 146 Plastic?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose (CPD) Blood-Pack Units in PL 146 Plastic?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Fresenius Kabi has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Anticoagulant Citrate Phosphate Dextrose (CPD) Blood-Pack Units in PL 146 Plastic?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Anemia?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
