Answering all of you on assistance for your biologic medications whatever kind it is Enbrel Humira etc., with your physicians help and your filling out an application, you should be able to get financial assistance direct from the pharmaceutical manufacture. Do what you can it is worth it! My Medicare advantage insurance was only going to pay a third of the cost which would never be enough. I am now fortunate to get mine free of charge direct from mfg. !

Once you are on Medicare you can apply for assistance through Humira and also the pharmaceutical company that manufactures it. I did with my Enbrel and they were fantastic! I wouldn’t be taking it otherwise.

About a year ago, I decided to try some alternative meds. I tried CBD oil. It helped me sleep a little better but didn't really help with pain or other symptoms of RA. I stopped talking it because it really wasn't helping and it was expensive. If a person has mild symptoms ,it might help some. I will be eligible for Medicare next year.

I had no idea about any of that.

Isn't it just a P.R. thing though; financed by the high price of the medication? I don't want to play into that game they have created to make their huge profits. My Humira was around $500 / 3 months when I first started about 12 years ago. That was my $90 co-pay and the insurance portion combined. It is now $14,500 / 3 months. Thank you for your answer though and I'm not judging anyone for their assistance under the programs, but I do my own thing if I think something is right or wrong. If the infusions do not work for me, I may need to look into it.
