I take two injections a month.  My insurance company gets billed over $1,700. 

If I lose my job, Blue cross charges $2,100 a month for insurance for me and my spouse.

Is anyone paying less for this drug and falls in between th eages of 60 and 65?

Thanks.

Most companies have patient assistance so that if your income is below a certain level they will send your medicine to you free of charge. For the Cimzia I take, you can get free medicine if you make less than $30,000. Try their website for information and see if you may qualify.

De La Rosa, if you have insurance, and you still make less than $30,000, is it still free?

No, but they have assistance for the co-pay. Go to the website and don't be afraid to call their number, they were really helpful for me.

Hello Everyone,
I have been on Methotrexate for about a year and it doesn't seem to be working. My rheumatologist is taking me off of that and it looks like Humira will be my next option. I am not looking forward to the high co-pays, but thankfully I have insurance. Thanks for posting the above information. It is a great help!

Arrunk, humira has a patient assistance program, that you only have to pay $5 a month. Check it out on there website
