You have done your homework. Someone started a thread on Tyenne. Recently FDA approved and much cheaper. Although it would probably still hit the out of pocket maximum.

My doctor did talk about taking the injections of Actemra, not the infusion. The cost is probably why— I appreciate all the research you did in regards to this! Looks like I will be getting the injections, but I will check to see if it is different for Southern California Kaiser. I also was a Kaiser employee for 20 years under a union contract which negotiated co-pays for drugs, etc so this might factor into my particular coverage. I know I have the same co-pays I had when I was working.
