Re: Re: re enbrel cost...in Australia..Toni etc

January 9, 2006

Hi Tony,

I rang my local chemist and......

If you have an Authority script it is $29.50 per month or with concession $

4.70(unemployed or pension),my understanding of being entitled to an Authority

script is that you have to have failed on two or more second line meds (which I

have). If you have no Authority they believe were'nt sure it is $1,800 for three

months supply.

I must say that the experiences you guys have with hospitals, insurance etc

leaves me in disbelief and I know at times our system sucks but it is much

better(in my opionion) on a whole.

I'm breathing easier again their is just no way I could afford the amounts you

guys are having to deal with.

Thanks for your reply

I am curious what it would cost too. I know you have different

levels of coverage for meds there...Can you call a local pharmacy and

let us know...

was looking to talk to my Rheumy next month about Enbrel but at the

any case.
