Assistance programs for treatments and medications

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

While doing some medical research I came across this site and since we fall

under the umbrella of rheumatoid arthritis and it's treatments I thought

many of you might find it interesting and use the information for help with

medication costs now or in the future. I did have to register but it was

simple and no terms. All the underlines are links.

I have never had a problem getting my medicare insurance to approve remicade

or Kinerate - it's about how your doctor sends in the request. The need to

be firm. Saying that it for Stills, and add on that Stills is a form of RA,

and boom, it's approved. Without that second description, it's hard to get

approved. With it, much easier to be approved. The docs I've gone to have

all done it this way and it's never been an issue. Some docs don't know

this though, so that is when you have to try to educate them without hurting

their feelings. Just suggest putting the second part on the form when they

send in the form to the insurance company. Or call the company yourself,

ask what it needs to say and then tell your doctor what the insurance

company needs it to say for stills for it to be approved.

If you can be just a little bold, it will go a long way financially for

you. Good luck to everyone that is fighting this battle.
