Affording Medication
So I'm struggling at the moment with being able to afford medication. I'm unable to work full time because of my AS, so I don't qualify for insurance. I know Humira and others like that can cost over $5,000 a month without insurance, and that's over double my monthly income. Has anyone found a solution for more affordable medication? My health is definitely getting worse, and I would love to be able to slow the progression with meds but have no idea how I would ever be able to afford it
I get my Stelara through Jansen Pharmaceuticals. They pay for all my shots, that's $14,000.00 a year. All I did, along with my doctor's office is apply. I am on Medicare but they only take $2,000.00 off of the $14,000.00. Talk to your Dr and apply. All Pharmaceutical companies have patient assistance programs. Here's a link, and good luck.https://www.janssen.com/us/patient-resources/pa...
Thank you so much! I have an appointment with my doctor to talk about that!
Have your doctor send a request to the pharmaceutical company and ask for reduced or $0.00 copays. They all state in their ads that "financial help" is available. Keep working for it, be your best advocate. Hugs, Wanda
Thank you so much! I'll talk to my doctor next time I go in!
