Matthew are you on private insurance? I know when I was working, I had employer insurance and was able to take advantage of pharmaceutical company rebates for my very expensive RA biologics. When I went on Medicare I was no longer elegible for that. Fortunately, I needed to change biologic anyway so was able to start one that was administered in a doctor’s office and covered by part B. That all goes back to a legislative block on Medicare negotiating with Pharmaceutical companies.

April, I have employer insurance. I'm working my dream job as a NASA rocket scientist, so I may never retire!

I don't recall the details, but I'm not getting a rebate. It's a special program where my wife and I have to demonstrate that we pay at least 10% of our net income in medical expenses each year. I'm Stage 4 and have been getting tested every 3 months, so that's been easy to demonstrate. Sadly? Fortunately?
