Kevzara Connect cut me off as well. Compared to you I guess my insurance company offered me a "great" deal: $1373 a month for Kevzara. I can't afford that. My doctor did an exam looking for evidence that I that I have GCA (giant cell arteritis) so he could get me on Actemra, which works similarly but is not Medicare approved for PMR. He is going to see how I do without the Kevzara and possibly do some "creative documentation" to get me on Actemra if I regress. I do have a headache at my temple and have had a biopsy to look for GCA. I might be one of the 25% of people with PMR who have sub-clinical GCA.

What is sub-clinical GCA?
