Help with cost of Remicade

[Guest guest]

I am not sure if anyone has posted this information about Remicade. I hope this will be helpful. My Insurance turned me down for Remicade 18 months ago. I wrote Centocor, the company who makes it. They have a patient assistance program which I applied to and was approved for. For once being broke was helpful Cenocor's Remicade Patient Assistance Program phone number is . The mailing address is Remicade Patient Assistance ProgramP.O. Box 221709Charlotte, NC 28222-1709My insurance covers the cost of the infusion, however all the cost of Remicade has been paid for Cenocor. A Patient Counselor calls me once a month the ask if everything went well with my last infusion. They even call me to remind me a couple of days before my next infusion...and hey I need all the help I can get with that!! Of course I had to sign that they can use my case history. And I have to reapply every six months. My doctors have been appreciative when I have shared this information with them...the eye specialist in Indy even sent me a handwritten thank you note ...even more surprising I could read it.Ruth>> I have a question.> > If you don't have insurance, how much does a months supply of remicade,> prednisone, etc. cost?>
