My wife has rheumatoid arthritis that has not responded well to methotrexate, prednisone and a couple of other drugs they have tried. Doc prescribed Enbrel but told us it as expensive and submitted an app to AMGEN for their subsidy program. Turns out even though we are well below the income level for assistance, they denied her because she has Medicare and the Medicare Advantage plan we have will cover the drug but with a $950 a week copay. AMGEN claims they only subsidise with private insurance or no insurance (interesting since the Obamacare act makes it illegal for anyone to not have insurance)
Does anyone here have any experience with a third party foundation or program that can help with the cost of Enbrel for low income seniors on medicare?
