I am surprised to learn this. If you have insurance through work or individual coverage, you should qualify. But note, this assistance only covers the portion of the cost for the drug (Stelara), not the other administration costs, such as facility fees, physician oversight, premeds, IV, etc.. $62K seems like a very high charge, but what do I know? I treat through an HMO.

I have the type of insurance that doesn’t qualify. It’s just shocking to me, if I had private insurance I’d pay $5. And the hospital can charge $62,000 for this. Something is definitely wrong with our healthcare system.
