Not sure if this has been posted or not...... but wanted to share this information for anyone who takes the Rx Humira. You can get the Humira shots for $5.00/month and also Methotrexate for $5.00/ month if you are on the Humira shots. Abbot Industries is offering this to help patients who take this medication, regardless if they have insurance or not. This is a great help and saves a lot of $$. The only thing that I've experienced is that the medication must be through a local pharmacy (not through the mail - or at least my mail order pharmacy would not process it) and it must be prescribed for RA. One time my local pharmacy got the wrong package in for the Humira shots. It was packaged for psorasis instead of RA, even thought the Rx was the same, but because of the packaging, it would not be covered. Thank God I had a pharmacist who was considerate and reordered my Rx so that I could get it through this program. Anyway, you should be able to go to Humira.com to find out more information about this program. I have subsribed to this website since I've been on the shots and I think that is how I was able to join the program, or at least how I got the information in the mail from them. My Rhuematologist didn't even know about this program, he acted like it was the first time he heard it when I told him. You may be like him, and I wanted to share this with you in case you were interested. Or if you're thinking of trying Humira, talk to you doctor and see if it would help you, and if it does see if they still have the program available to sign up to receive it at the discounted rate. Medications are high, and anything that will help us be able to purchase it, I like.
