Darcie, it is just wrong that because Kevzara is self administered as opposed to an infusion that D England and others are being held up by these 3d party plan managers. I would think that not having a provider administer a drug and not have to pay for an office visit would be a no brainer for the insurance companies.

Nobody asked me when they crafted Medicare rules. I agree with you that it makes no sense.

The VA could have denied my rheumatologist’s request for Actemra since I wasn’t diagnosed with GCA. Actemra isn’t FDA approved for PMR.

The VA doesn’t have to abide by Medicare rules thankfully.

You can call me Mike if you wish.
