I cannot afford to pay for the Zepbound. And I noticed that the other prescriptions she gave me is a higher dose so I’m pretty sure that it will be a higher cost. Are there any alternatives?
That's a lot of money to spend every month. Since I got my disability I was charged $500 at least a month for my IVIG because no foundation or pay assist places would help me. At first I just went off of it because it was just too much. But I needed it so I maid smaller payments. Sometimes when it got too much the patient assistance at the hospital would take some off. You don't have that option other than the out of pocket max on prescription when your on Medicare is $2000. When I had expensive RA meds that $2000 was met within 3 or 4 months then I didn't have to pay anymore or the will even set up payments (your insurance company) will set up payments for $2000 for a year. It's called Medicare drug payment plan.
I hope this helps. If this doesn't work, I suggest you have a talk with your doctor and ask if he can do a cheaper med. Good luck to you!
Thank you
Zepbound isn't directly related to managing rheumatoid arthritis, so it's a bit outside the scope of what can be helpfully covered here. However, the challenge of affording high-cost prescriptions is something many people with RA know all too well — so let's focus on that!
