Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi Barbara, I pay 50.00 copay for my Embrel. It runs about 1500.00 a month without insurances so I am told. If I didn't have Ins I could not afford it.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Barbara, I have to pay $50 a month for Enbrel, but it goes through my supplementary insurance and not Medicare. The drug companies have programs to help with the meds if someone cannot afford them. I hope somebody has the URL's for you.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I take Enbrel as well and ws going to have to pay a $350 deductible. Go to http://www.enbrel.com/ra/insurance-help.jsp and call the number for insurance help and tell them you can't afford the deductible. They have a program that helps cover it. I pay $6.99 a month (4 injections) for the first year and $75 a month after that. They don't advertise their program but they have one if you ask. in St.Louis, RA OA, Lupus > > > My doctor has just put me on Enbrel, but when I called my insurance company and pharmicist, it looked like it was going to cost me about $450 a month, since I have to pay l/3 of what Medicare will pay.....
