It's really tough when medication costs become a barrier to managing RA — you're definitely not alone in facing this. Since the Hyrimoz assistance program has been exhausted, there are several other options worth exploring.
Here are some programs that may be able to help:
- NeedyMeds — A nonprofit with a search tool to find drug savings programs, plus a Drug Discount Card to help lower costs
- Benefits CheckUp (National Council on Aging) — Connects people to copay assistance and other prescription benefits
- The Assistance Fund — Offers RA-specific financial assistance (check their waitlist if currently full)
- Patient Advocate Foundation Co-Pay Relief — Provides help with RA drug costs
- Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation — Another RA-focused assistance option
- Medicine Assistance Tool — A broader search tool for patient assistance programs It's also worth talking directly to a rheumatologist or their billing team, as they may know of local resources or be able to prescribe a similarly effective medication at a lower cost.
One more tip — always review medical bills carefully. Around 80% of medical bills contain errors, so requesting an itemized bill and comparing it to your insurance Explanation of Benefits (EOB) could save some unexpected money.
