@marci516 Good luck. Keep us posted on your status with WellCare and if you're successful. It shouldn't have to be a battle. My rheumy wanted me to take Kevzara last year, but I had WellCare and knew it could be a fight to get it approved. I was having a flare of PMR/GCA and didn't need the stress. Fortunately, my rheumy put me on Actemra infusions, since I had a history of GCA. Didn't have to deal with WellCare, since my Medicare covered it.

@ropnrose glad to hear you’re doing well on Actmera. I had no struggle getting approval with UHC last year. My doctor & specialty pharmacy are still fighting for me. The stress is definitely showing in my pain. Thanks, I’ll keep you posted.
