Lori,
Thanks again for the idea. I'm sure that someone can benefit from it.

I work in a very small company. When I mentioned this idea to the HR director, she was upset.
She said that it was unfair for the company to foot the bill and that the employee needed to be responsible since the medication was so high.
As soon as I walked out of her office, she immediately called the insurance company and made sure that the loophole of getting the Enbrel through the medical part on the insurance plan was closed up. No gap appeared. She emailed me, the other employee and the president of the company with an explaination. She said if and only if I needed to remain alive could I have it.
Even if I could get the Enbrel at the expense of the companies insurance policy, I would fear for my job. They would find a way to get rid of me and claim that it was not for health reasons.
It has been known to happen and I do not wish to be the next person on the chopping block.
But again, I appreciate all the help from the members .......you guys have great ideas.
One of them is sure to work for me.
