OP nelly Member N Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 36 New Jersey	Any Suggestions on how I might be able to get Humira- My health policy will only pay a small part - and I don't qualify for financial assistance because my husband makes too much- I can't afford $1,100 a month for it - what to do? Is there a program that might help? thanx MB

They paid for my Remicade co-pay for a year and then the Humira for the one time that I got to take it. Another dr. recommended Chronic Disease Fund at 1/877-968-7233 and alo Patient Access Network Foundation at 1-866-316-7263. I haven't checked them out because Health Well is helping us with RA. They told me they are fully funded right now for all of the diseases that they fund. Also take a look at www.patientadvocate.org/ It will take you to a lot of places. It is tough when you fit in that middle section of not enough and yet too much. A lot of us are in that section. We qualified because of retirement income and our huge medical bills. Healthwell approved me for all year of my Remicade co-pay and then this year for the Humira but I didn't tolerate it. Now they are working on PT for me and seeing how they can help with my husband's RA surgery. Just wonderful people. Hard to imagine people being so generous to help others and everyone you talk to is so nice. Best wishes to you. I feel there is something there that will help. Let me know if they don't and I have some more. Have a good weekend.

I guess our insurance paid better on it. I could have handled the Humira but they said for me to use the rest of my grant on it so I did.
