enbrel

Avatar f tn I’ve been taking Enbrel for the past 15 years or so with HUGE success! I have since Retired from work last month and now have a limited income. I signed up to Medicare/AARP for my post retirement healthcare requirement. During employment my Co-Pay was 25 dollars for a month supply. Now, Medicare and AARP collective insurance leaves me with 1,000 dollars for a month supply. Retail? $4600-$5500 for a 4 doses (month supply) Is there ANYTHING else that works as well as this?
Avatar f tn Here in the U.S. the cost of the Enbrel is $18,000 a year, a steep cost as well. Because I changed jobs and cannot afford the COBRA payments ( Ins.the employee pays for in between new coverage taking effect) Today is my last shot until Aug. 1 when my new Ins. kicks in. The first thing that came to mind for you is to contact the company that makes Enbrel..
1544019 tn?1318504526 I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 19 years old. I'm now 32 and pregnant. I've been giving myself shots of Enbrel to control it since 2001. When we started doing IVF treatments to get pregnant, I went off of the Enbrel. For the first two trimesters, my RA seemed to go into remission and I didn't need any treatments - which was a MIRACLE! Now I'm starting my third trimester (I'm 27 weeks) and I am starting to have ALL SORTS of complications with my joints.
Avatar n tn d like info on natural enbrel alternative.
1544019 tn?1318504526 So just an update about this. Just when we finally got cleared for me to take the Enbrel while pregnant, we find out it's not going to be into the pharmacy until Friday AND it's going to cost $900!!! BUT it turns out it will actually probably be safer for me TO take the Enbrel. I have to control my arthritis because if I don't control it, (according to the lady at the pregnancy risk hotline we talked to today) Rheumatoid ARthritis puts me at risk for still birth and preterm labor.
1112960 tn?1258585751 I am worried about the cost of the interferon and Ribv. txs. We have good medical insurance but I know this is a very expensive procedure......both the liver biopsy and the tx. I have seen people here talk about the new txs that are coming out in 2010. What are the names of these drugs and have they been approved yet?
333672 tn?1273792789 Apparently, Acorda has both a co-pay assistance program and a patient assistance program for the uninsured and underinsured. There are some details at http://brassandivory.blogspot.com/2010/02/annual-price-for-ampyra-set-at-12850.html with more info in the comments. And yes, the base price for a 30-day supply is $1,056. The way the co-pay program works is that if your co-pay is more than $40, Acorda will pay the difference so the patient's max out-of-pocket is $40.
Avatar f tn and has had no relief from the neck pain or dizziness. He is considering neck surgery and recently heard of Enbrel spinal injections or possible Enbrel treatment. He is seeking an answer and will consider travel or participating in a research study. Any ideas or thoughts are much appreciated.
Avatar n tn t afford Level III because I cover the family) with BCBS. With Level I, I paid the full cost, until I met the deductible, then the plan paid 80% of the cost up to the maximum out-of-pocket of $1200 (then the plan paid 100%). Now I pay a copay of $62.50 every three months for my Copaxone. You may also consider contacting Shared Solutions, MS groups (like MS Society, etc.) to help with this problem. There's a thread I posted on, which I will try to find, in regards to this.
Avatar f tn I would be getting my uterus and cervix removed. How much do they cost out of pocket and is there any kind of financial assistance that would help me pay for the medical bill?
Avatar m tn Pfizer has a patient assistance program that may help you. Go to pfizerhelpfulanswers.com and you can search to see what they may have available. You may also want to check with your local social services department - you may qualify for some assistance through them since your medical costs are so high. Best of luck!
Avatar n tn looking for assistance to obtain advair at little or no cost.
Avatar f tn The meds can cost upwards of USD $30,000/year.
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm not in your situation but just wanted to suggest something I've seen others here talk about. Apparently Teva has a patient assistance program who provides substantial support. It seems to me that the co-pay can be pretty nominal. I believe the first step in making a request is to contact Shared Solutions. Good luck!
Avatar m tn hello again, thanks to all the people that responded. was wondering about the cost of meds. interferon and ribavirin, im checking with my ins. to see what they will cover. i may have misspoke about this thing on hepititusccure.net i dont think it is herbal? it deals with fatty liver tissue. but its only 50 bucks to read about it so i dont really have anything to lose. going back to doc in 3 mo. not sure why till i decide on tx. if tx takes care of virus, do people go back to normal lifestyle?
723660 tn?1247163511 For the newer drugs, pretty much every manufacturer offers a patient assistance program that may get you what you need at greatly reduced cost, or even free. Also check with your local health department for state assistance programs. If it comes down to it - and it may not - your state's bureau of vocational rehabilitation may be helpful for you to get retraining in another field. Through them I got some grants that helped me pay for college. A medical social worker can help you with this.

Avatar f tn Is there help out there for the cost of Suboxone8/2mg. I take it three times a day for pain control under the direct supervision of my Pain Management Physician. I have been on it for almost 3 years now and have lost my supplemental health insurance. I have no Rx coverage anymore. My doctor does not give out sample, of course.
