cost of enbrel in canada

I've been on Enbrel for about 5 years and it has been an extremely good medication for both the psoriasis and the psoriatic arthritis. My concern is what am I going to do now that my husband is retired and my health insurance won't cover the cost. I live in Canada and the cost of this medication is approximately $22,000.00 a year which my husband's company insurance covered but now that he is retired, it will not cover the cost for my lifetime.

I guess i cant be of much help bc I am not in Enbrel - I have had RA for a number of years since about the age 20 and I am 31 - I am almost 11 weeks pregnant and have noticed that my back mostly is actually starting to bothering me more.... I was on a daily regiment of percocet, Flexirol, and Ibuprofin in between and and stopped those until the dr said it was actually OK to take these meds when I need them for flare ups.... Is there anything else that would be safer to take that would help you?

I started searching for any info on taking enbrel while pregnant in case I continue to feel terrible when I came across this forum. Best of luck to everyone!

1) Does it cost money in canada to meet with a counsellor? (don't really want to go to the meetings) Kind of looking for a step by step program type thing to keep me clean? 2)Can you keep it anonymous and not release your name?

That is insane, in Canada I had a csection, was in the hospital for 4 days and the only thing I paid for was my 14 dollar constipation meds.

Yup, I definitely know about Enbrel. I was on in for over three year and wish that I were still on it. As a matter of fact, I probably will go back on it when I see my doctor in a couple of weeks. I am presently on methotrexate which is doing absolutely nothing for me. Granted, we have different types of arthritis, mine being psoriatic arthritis, but I can tell you that I was on Enbrel alone for atleast three years and I had great results with no side effects. For me it was a wonder drug.

I made an appointment with him for a second opinion and then treated in one of the Boceprevir trials. There are other new drugs in the pipeline currently in trials that you could speak with him about at your appointment. In the meantime do a search at www.clinicaltrials.gov using "Hepatitis C and Michigan". See what comes up then you can start your homework prior to your appointment. Best of luck!

I have been purchasing his medications for him on line though a pharmacy in Canada costing an extreme amount of money for his Synthroid. I am on a limited income and I cannot afford it anymore. My daughter in law is very sick too. She had thyroid cancer, stage three and is in desperate need to see a physician for her follow ups. She is supposed to get scanned twice a year since her surgery and has not been scanned once. She simply cannot afford it.

My insurance charges $150 a month. Some insurance charge a percentage of the cost of the drugs. That is what we are fighting against in NC.

Costs appear to vary widely from state to state, country to country. I live in Canada and have no clue what these tests cost. ( I've always thought this information should be available to Canadians so that people don't take universal health care for granted, because obviously it isn't 'free.'). I do know that generally, neurologists earn more, and charge more, in the U.S. than they do in Canada.

I was an avid weight-lifter and athlete in judo,but my passion was bodtbuilding,my occomplishments included a 3rd place finish in the junior Mr. Canada championships in 1978,i also was active in the adult amateur b.b. championships.So as i loved to work-out,i rushed to get back in shape.Resulting in a 2nd back surgery in 1993,this time i wasent so lucky. I after the operation my problem was a r-leg (Drop FOOT) and a muscle wasting atropy making the calf muscles shrink away to nothing.

I have a plan were I pay up front and am reimbursed. The cost for one month Incivek in Canada $14000 + 2000$ for the Pegasus. Now I need to scramble to find the finances to cover the cost and then hope the turn-around time with the insurance is under a month or I'll be totally screwed next month. Maybe she should have chosen the Victrelis. The cost would have been split over more weeks that way. Beware.

still looking for possible IL28B testing and any of the latest in Canada, Has anyone filed in Ontario for transfusion compensat claim, just wondering about questions and procedure of the health long term care Hep C assist program.

) The cost to us is in the medication. Even at that, for alot of us, our work insurance covers a good chunk of it and then you can apply to Trillium for coverage above and beyond which may or may not make a difference at all depending on your genotype and your income and takes a helluva long time to get approved. I don't know how I would have managed this in the U.S. I see an Endocrinologist and a Hepatologist...and a Psychiatrist for that matter in relation to my treatment.

Then for them to send out a nickel is pure idiocy in my mind. They could have had something made in the form of a real nickel in paper and got their point across. How many are realistically going to send in a check with the nickel when the cost to mail such an item through Canada Post will cost an arm and a leg? Yes I have a history of strife with the MS Society and they have yet again proven their money wasting habits are a serious problem.

and perhaps a future option for me, but...Can anyone tell me the approx cost to go to one of these MS Specialists in the States??? Is there a LONG waiting list? Also, where are some of these places located? (I live directly across from Michigan in Canada) Thanks, everyone!

Over here in the UK, we generally don't know what the cost of tests and drugs are, as they are covered by the NHS. But over the past 12 months I have started to learn a bit of what thing cost, and it appears that even if you go private they are considerabley cheaper than in the US which to me dosen't seem quite right.

The only issue is I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. From what I understand they do not offer those options. I would hate to have to put him down. The total cost of finding out what is wrong is as follows - blood work $550 check-up $130 Endoscopy $1000 Feces test $300...This is outrageous. I wanted to get insurance but he now has pre-existing illness.

What I learned for myself is that, in Canada, the 1.3 mil IU/ml is the highest limit any labs in Canada test to. (That's supposed to be changing soon.) I was in the middle of searching for getting my own PCR including going to the U.S. when I landed in a drug trial and then got an accurate PCR as it was done in the U.S. and turns out my viral load was 2.1 mil IU/ml. Having said that ... viral load doesn't directly co-relate with liver damage.

Could you please not cut and paste full copyrighted articles? Because the government in Canada, Italy, wherever pays for whatever level of health care, if you pay taxes or spend money at businesses that pay taxes, you paid for that health care. “I'm in Italy and my recent week in the hospital didn't cost me a dime.” … “My DMDs cost me nothing.” … “All of this will cost me exactly zero dollars.” Wrong. There is no free ride. The U.S.
