I just found out my copays for my Remicade are going to be $800. Does anyone know of any assistance programs to help pay? I have insurance and am in the USA, but this much is going to be hard to swing.

Have you tried contacting the maker of Remicade? I think they have a program to help people pay for it. Good luck!

Remicade has a program called Remistart.  It's a patient assistance program to those WITH insurance.  Contact the hospital or your GI.  They should have a form for it... or do a Google search for "Remistart enrollment form"

HTHs!

Remicade has a Patient Assistance Program that will pay for the medicine itself in full. I am not sure the name of the Company just try to search Remicade Patient Assistance Program!!!!GOOD LUCK!!!

Here's the link to the PDF of the Patient Enrollment Form for assistance:

My Remicade co-pays were paid in full by:

Patient Access Network Foundation
http://www.patientaccessnetwork.org/

You'll see the link for Crohn's Disease on the column on the right.
They've been a life-saver for me. They even switched and paid my Humira co-pay later on.

i got some rebate assistance through RemiStart.  They are pretty helpful too. 

good luck - it's so outrageously expensive (compared to anything else i've taken).

I take Remicade for a dural/sinus/orbital and now throat psuedo tumor inflammatory syndrome and Remistart program denied me because that is not a FDA approved condition. I do have insurance but am pretty sure I wouldn't qualify for the low income assistance programs. Last year after insurance paid my out of pocket was about $1ooo.oo per infusion. Does anyone know of another program that could help me?
