Need help to get my humira

[mort7010]

Hello, I'm Kara, I am 42years old with two beautiful children. I have had Crohns since I turned 22. that first year I was hospitalized 13 times, wow that sucked. It seems the older I get the harder it is to recoop from the flare-ups. I only work if I am lucky 20 hours a week, lately its only been maybe 12 hours, thats hard. I am on Humira, wonderful drug, only problem its very expensive, I am on Medicare and had to apply to the PAN foundation. Well recently I have ran out of money from them, I am now trying to figure out how to get my Humira, they want me to pay $430., which I am unable to do. I have tried calling the number I found on here and for some reason it hangs up on me, does anybody know why??

I hope to hear from some of you with any suggestions on what to do. With out this medication I will more than likely end up in the hospital.

I’m sorry to hear this mort7010. I can’t help as I am not in the US but I will tag mylittlepenguin, Clash, Maya142, crohnsinct. They know the US system inside out and hopefully will be able to help out with advice on how to move around the system.

Good luck!

Are you on Medicaid which should cover it all or truly Medicare ?
Medicare or any federal program disqualifies you for the humira complete program .
Humira complete covers most of your copay and leaves you with only $5 minimum copay .
It would be worth a call though in case they can help

The other place would be
On this blog
Mainly for asthma meds but might have a resource

Good luck

Go to Needymeds.org as they have assistance programs for Humira.

My thoughts are with you and be well.
