Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Kat, I was lucky enough to not get RA until I was 60 and already retired. Of course I would have been even luckier if I hadn't gotten it at all. I was a teacher, so my supplementary insurance to Medicare is the state Blue Cross Blue Shield. The state plan still helps pay for prescriptions, so I didn't have to decide on a Medicare Part D, thank goodness. I think that Humira is about the same price as Enbrel, which I am on. Both cost about $13,000 a year. My co-pay per month is $50. It sounds as though you have a wonderful rheumy. How generous he is with his time. I hope the Humira continues to work for you.
