Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I am a 55 year old woman recently diagnosed with RA. Just started methotrexate last week. Have been looking into Humira, Enbrel and Remicade. Remicade will cost us $600 per treatment because it is not a formulary drug under our insurance. Humira is a littel better but will cost $664 for a 3 month supply. Only Enbrel is a forumlary drug so our cost will be just $75 for 3 months. I've applied for funding through the HealthWell Foundation so I can get the Remicade treatments. If I don't qualify I will have to use Enbrel since my husband and I cannot afford the more expensive drugs. Are there other programs I should look into for help if this Foundation turns me down? Does Enbrel really work for many people if I have to go that route? Any information will be most welcome. Posie in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
