Does your insurance pay for Kevzara? I was told by a doctor at the University of Iowa about it in 2019, as there was a trial going on there with the drug. I didn’t qualify for the trial at the time as my inflammation numbers declined when on 7.5 mg of prednisone. He told me the drug would be free during the trial, but very expensive if not enrolled.
