Orencia (Abatacept) isn't FDA approved for the treatment of PMR so I doubt any insurance will cover it. That doesn't mean it won't work for you. Is PMR your only diagnosis?

There is a study called the ALORS study that is investigating Abatacept for PMR.
"Due to its good safety profile in rheumatoid arthritis and its potential to modulate T cell activation and derived cytokines, abatacept is an attractive agent to investigate in patients with PMR."

Yes I also have RA as well. She said this will help both PMR and RA. Thank you for the info.
