Reply to "Shocked! at the cost of Medication"

Janssen Carepath has the same program for Remicade and I pay $5 per infusion now. The retail cost of one Remicade infusion is around $10,000.00, but I just pay the $5 copay after my deductible is shot (as I explained in another thread these copay assistance payments count towards your deductible with most insurers, and you only pay the difference (if any) between those payments on your first infusion, and your deductible. Making it very wise to buy a high deductible plan. In my case I had to pay only around $400 out of pocket on a $5000 deductible and same on a $6500 deductible with my prior health insurer).

Most good infusion facilities know how these copay assistance programs work and they ask you to send them the credit card that Janssen sends out. I thought it was automatic that you get something from Janssen once you start on one of these biologics, but maybe not.
