Rheum wants Kevzara but Methotrexate much cheaper, work as well?

I have been on Kevzara a year now. Started out injecting every two weeks. About 9 months later switched to every month because my inflammation markers were normal. It has been a game changer for me and now I am slowly weaning off Kevzara. I am on Medicate Advantage so out of pocket is $2.100 a year but Kevzara has a few programs. Hope that helps.

It does help, a lot. Thank you so much for all this information. It gives me ideas as well as hope for a future (hopefully) without Prednisone and (hopefully) without PMR, but I'll take it one day at a time. Blessings.

@laurelfagan ditto, Kevzara game changer
Medicare and United Healthcare…..$2100 out of pocket. Kevzara has some financial help on its website. No side effects…..except an occasional low WBC. Then we cutback the injections to every 3 weeks.
Note: I have no other health issue, 80yo female , hopefully winding down…..
🤞maybe off Kevzara by end of year.
