Abbott has a charitable foundation that makes Humira available for reduced, possibly no cost

Hi all,

I found out via this  web page but www.needymeds.org/drug_list.taf?_functi
on=name&name=Humira
has some information and the application (PDF) http://www.needymeds.org/pap
forms/abbhum0323.pdf

Abbott's page http://www.abbott.com/global/url/content/en_US/40.70:70/gene
ral_content/General_Content_00066.htm

One thing, the eligibility guidelines say “The patient must not have
any private nor public insurance “ but they will accept people on
Medicare Part D based on finances.  IIRC, the application talks about
this.  I'm not sure about other rx insurance.

I applied and qualified for full assistance, they are covering the
complete cost for now.  You have to apply each year.  The ship in a
cooler via FedEx and provide a 3 month supply of either syringes or
pens.

Due to the severity of my CD, my GI requested a 40 mg injection each
week and they agreed.

While I like to say it is a great med, for me it isn't.  Since
weaning off of pred last July, only two minor inflammation  related
symptoms haven't come back.  Plus I've gotten about half a dozen side
effects from it :-(

HTH,
