I'd love to hear updates on the Kezara ! I know there are several other threads about taking biologicals . I have one question for you if you don't mind - is your insurance covering the cost ? I am trying to decide if I should change my Medicare Part D to cover higher tier drug for next year ! : )

Hi; yes my insurance is covering the Kevzara. However, I am retired military and I have TriCare for Life after Medicare. TriCare's pharmacy program is Medicare Part D for military retirees. I am absolutely blessed to have the pharmacy coverage that I have. I have read that out of pocket for Kevzara is about 5K without insurance. Personally I think, as Kevzara is recognized as an alternative to prednisone, insurance companies will be required to cover it.
Good Luck
