Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 T Good luck with your upcoming surgery. I take humiria, which I get through a patient assitance program from the drug company, Because of my lack of income at this time I get mine at no cost, But I know they also have programs that help with co-payments, Go the the website for humiria, and look under insurance there should be a 1-800 number you can call to find out more information. Just so you know most of the drug companies that make drugs for RA have patient asstiance programs and I do get most of my drugs that way, some are at no cost, some you make a payment usually about a third of the normal cost. in WI bizzare48@...
