My Life Depends on Using Enbrel
Autoimmune Diseases | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (7)Comment receiving replies
@jw9 I am on Medicare too and Enbrel is covered for me. So you have to get an infusion ? I thought all Medicare was the same rules and laws but guess I am wrong. I actually got Enbrel free from the Amgen Foundation due to low income. This lasted for 2 years but now I am on my own with my Advantage insurance. United Health Care says it will be $35 a month, which should cover 3 injections. I am ok with that.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Wow, I have to have a talk with my rheumatologist in January! It might be different state-by-state? But that doesn't make sense because we all know Medicare is a federal program. Unless states have payments that supplement.... I intend to get some answers. I have a friend who was covered under her husband's plan when we were both in our 30's. She got Humira injections, at the time I didn't have treatment. She went into remission and by 45 started a second career. It can't hurt for me to find out if something else is available but infusion therapy. I really appreciate your post!
