Just curious....anyone know if Medicare (parts A & B) will pay part of the cost for Entyvio infusions if they are given in a hospital? I have Bluecross/Blueshield and Tricare also. Seems that my Bluecross approved me for Entyvio, but my copay is over $1,000 bucks for every infusion. Since I have Tricare and Medicare, the 'drug cost assistance' programs won't help.

I seem to think it does, remember reading that somewhere. I'd call and ask.

I had insurance and the entyvio program helped pay my costs.

I would call them too. I know some programs will not participate because your insurance is not like the private sector. Dealing with Medicare & Tricare can cause some of us to be penalized as a result.
