Thanks Kari, I know you can actually start filing at the 6 month mark here in CA. Not sure about the other states.

Do you have to qualify for SSDI to get Medicare early?

Marla, Remember all things in His time. I'd call the company who makes Remicade and see what they tell you to do. There's got to be a doc out there who is in this for the patient and not the money. I will pray that God guides you to this person. Maybe this is just a step that God is doing to lead you to just the right person to give this to you. Keep the faith, girl. My prayers are with you. hugs

Well I didn't get the Remicade, we were told by our doctor, and my research that a dose would be between 1600-2300, so we were prepared to pay what we needed as Insurance still denied, well we got there, I told the nurse that we were self pay and she asked if I knew the medication was $16,000, for just the drug not the other $500 or so for the hospital, I even called our local pharmacist and he said there cost was $845 a vial, I would need 3, OK do the the math, that comes to 2535, a little more then we thought, but over $13000 more I don't think so, so the hospital is taking quite a profit on the drugs. Anyway, my doctor was blown out of the water too. I guess it might be possible to get this at a Rheumatalogist office in town?? so anyone paying that for Remicade please let me know. So here we are at the beginning again, well I fought for Methotrexate until I got it, so I guess I have to keep on

fighting. I wish you all a very blessed weekend.

Yes, here in Georgia you do. The rules for Medicare differ from state to state. We are not a 209b state. I believe Virginia and Indiana are though. In Georgia, you qualify for Medicaid until Medicare kicks in at 2 years of SSDI.
