UTAH (ABC4) – The minute Penny Hepworth was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, her mother Jennifer became an expert on the condition and health insurance.
“It’s not unusual for a parent with a child with cystic fibrosis to be on the phone with the insurance at the beginning of the year, an average of 30 hours a month,” said Jennifer Hepworth.
After years of figuring out what worked best for her daughter, Jennifer came across a new problem, co-pay accumulator programs.
“It’s a despicable program,” said Hepworth.
