Try the patient assistance program at 800-830-9159. Your GI head nurse should also be aware on upcoming Entyvio approvals.
As far as myself I had 5 Entyvio infusions and in the last 2 I began to see definite improvements, my obstruction inflammation has completely gone away. I still have my doubts about Entyvio as compared to Humira which took me into remission.
This drug is extremely expensive, $4900 per infusion, 3 loading doses + an infusion every 2 months, that is over $30,000 a year. Make absolutely sure that you get all your pre-authorizations BEFORE your first infusion. Even with it I had trouble with the insurance company paying and they were billing me $13000 with more upcoming infusions.
Good luck.
