my portion of my remicade cost is $600 every 6 weeks. needless to say,
this has been extremely painful and difficult. today, the doc's office
told me about a new program called RemiStart. I haven't read the
material thoroughly yet (will get to it today, tho) but wanted to
share about this because if you're paying a hefty co-pay, this can be
a real lifesaver. what i know right now is that it will pay a max of
$400 of your co-pay per infusion , up to $3200 in a year. It may only
last for a year--not sure about that--but what a help this would be!
and it has nothing to do with your income. i believe the $400 is put
on a "rebate card" you can use toward your co-pay or for any other
purpose where you'd use a debit card. i have no idea if there's some
catch. i'll let you know after i read the material more carefully.

i can't find a website in the material my doc's office gave me, but
here's the phone number for more info and to start the enrollment
process: 888-222-3771.

hope this helps!

grr, i just discovered i'm ineligible, because i have a federal
insurance plan. They assume that means the gov pays part of your
premium, which it doesn't in my case because I only have it through my
ex and am not a federal employee. I pay the full $500/month premium. I
am so bummed! I was already counting my remicade savings.

Major bummer, Diane!!!

I am so so very sorry that you couldn't get some help with the heavy
co-pay you bear every month!
