Question by .: Help Paying for My Rheumatoid arthritis medication?
Enbrel is the only medication that has ever worked for my RA pain. My insurance claims that there is a $ 2,000 limit on drugs and that it has expired from using Enbrel. Neither the insurance or the Enbrel company can help since payment assistance programs cannot help you unless you have no insurance at all. I cannot even afford half of the $ 1,550 price of the Medication. Please any advice? The limit won’t reset until next year and I cannot wait that long.
