Also, infusions are covered by Medicare B, so there pretty much free.
My kevzara had to be authorize as the only option left for me and my pmr.
But actemra would be the better choice for you.

Yes ... it is true about infusions being paid by Medicare. I get Actemra infusions at no cost to me. As a veteran, I go to a VA hospital for my infusion and it doesn't cost me anything. The VA wouldn't charge me anything even if I didn't have a Medicare supplement. I'm happy that the VA submits a claim to the insurance company that provides my supplemental insurance and gets reimbursed for part of the cost of my infusion. The VA can't submit a claim directly to Medicare because one government agency can't bill another government agency. At least that was what I was told.
