I have been taking monthly infusions of Actemera for two year for PMR and suspected GCA. I was able to get down to 3 mg of prednisone. I am on Medicare and have BCBS as a supplemental. They would not pay for the weekly injection without it costing 1,700 a month. The infusions are only a 20.00 co pay. Actemera has worked great for me, no pain at all.
