About STERILE CORD BLOOD COLLECTION UNIT (MSC123D) and its cost
What is this medication? The STERILE CORD BLOOD COLLECTION UNIT (MSC123D) is a specialized medical device used to gather umbilical cord blood immediately after the birth of a child. This system consists of a sterile bag containing an anticoagulant solution to prevent the blood from clotting during the collection process. It is used by healthcare professionals in a hospital or birthing center setting to capture the blood remaining in the placenta and umbilical cord once the cord has been clamped and cut.
The primary reason for using this collection unit is to preserve hematopoietic stem cells found in cord blood. These cells are valuable because they can be used in life-saving transplants to treat various conditions, including leukemia, lymphoma, and certain genetic disorders. Once the blood is collected using this unit, it is transported to a laboratory for processing and then frozen for long-term storage in a cord blood bank for potential future medical use.
STERILE CORD BLOOD COLLECTION UNIT (MSC123D) is made by Macopharma. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.
Common questions
What's the cheapest way to afford STERILE CORD BLOOD COLLECTION UNIT (MSC123D)?
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 STERILE CORD BLOOD COLLECTION UNIT (MSC123D)?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Macopharma has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover STERILE CORD BLOOD COLLECTION UNIT (MSC123D)?
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 Autologous Blood Donation?
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.
