Does anyone know~~~ Humira?

My loading dose was billed to the insurane company at $3856.28. I owe $45.00. I think I made out better than the insurance company.

Smoething to keep in mind make sure they also have you have your doctor get the perscription for the doses going forward after the loading dose. With my insurance company they did not put two and two together so my first regular dose will now be late.

My loading dose was only 2 syringes (which is one box) and my box copay is $40. The price billed to insurance is another story =)

My Pharmacy told me the shots before coverage are about $750 a shot.  That means the initial dose of four would be $3,000.00  The second loading dose of two, another $1,500.00....then if you are on a regular script...1 dose every 2 weeks would mean another 25 shots in the coming year or another $18,750.00...for a years total of $23,250.00.  Thankfully my insurance is $50 every 90 days plus $50 for the loading dose.  My dose is 2 shots every two weeks so my bill wthout insurance would be $42,000 for the year.  In my mind $250.00 versus $42,000.00 is good thing.

It all depends on your insurance - mine cost nothing because after I hit my $2,200 deductible everything including RX is covered 100%. And it doesn't take long to hit the $2,200 deductible. I did it in two months this year. I hate to even think about what I have cost my insurance carrier this year. But in past years it hasn't been so bad so I am not feeling guilty. MB
