Re:dennis, enbrel policies

[Guest guest]

I'm confused, I have full prescription insurance but I am still able

to get the copayment assistance from enbrel, does it depend on the

type of insurance you have? Right now I have no copayment at all. My

doctor signed me up...just curious what I may encounter down the road.

beth, I assume the key is that you have private insurance. If and when

you get Medicare or other state/federal coverage, you will probably be

denied. At least that's the way I see it right now. Count your blessings.

I'm on Enbrel and have full prescription coverage also. I didn't have to pay a

co-pay for 6 months. Now I I'have to pay a ten dollar co-pay. My doctor gave me

a card to take to the drug store. In December I will have been on the program

for one year. I got a letter in the mail from Enbrel telling me if I wanted to

continue on it, I had to apply for the program again by December 15th. I hope

that helps
