This is a challenging situation that many RA patients face. Before making the decision to stop biologics, there are several financial assistance options worth exploring. Drug manufacturers like AbbVie (who makes Humira) often offer copay assistance programs and savings cards that can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs, even for Medicare patients. Consider speaking with your rheumatologist about this situation. They may be able to prescribe similarly effective but less expensive alternatives, or help connect you with additional resources. There are also nonprofit organizations like NeedyMeds that provide drug discount cards and can help search for medication savings programs. State pharmaceutical assistance programs might be available depending on where you live. Don't give up on biologics without exploring all options. Medicare Part D offers various savings and rebate programs that might help. You can also check if you qualify for additional state-based assistance programs that could help cover the cost of your medications.
