[Mary Kenny]

Curious what people are paying for Remicade infusion and to please let me know what state you live in. My brother just had approx a $20,000 increase.......Yes you read that correctly they increased $226 per unit to $732/unit
Thank you so much,

We are in IL. My son has Crohns and on remicade for 10 yrs. We paid $6000.0/ treatment in 2013, in 2014, it increased to $25,000.00. He just aged out of my insurance through my work so we are at a loss as to what to do. Medicaid is on a 5 month delay so we have been unable to search for insurance yet until they approve or disapprove him for that. He is due for another treatment in 10 days and we already have the bill from April at $25,000. Dr doesn't want him to not get his treatment as anitbodies may develop.
