Any idea what Humira costs with an "average" insurance in the US?


With 60% specialty copay its something around 3,000 I month I think. If you become part of their ambassador program they may offer to cover up to ~$16k of those costs per year. Doing that also requires some assistance from the health insurance program to cover it all in a certain way before Humira will cover anything. Took a lot of calls.

Other things I'd recommend: Dedicated medical fridge with internal temp monitors, remote infrared temp gauge to measure package on arrival.

Figures may be a tiny bit off here, going from memory.


Depends on the specialty copay. My Simponi is $30/mo after insurance and it's been that way through multiple jobs.


There's a prescription discount plan - takes that $2k/mo cost down to $5.00/mo on good insurance plans.


I don't think my insurance would count as "average" but for another reference point I pay $20/mo and the opus copay assistance brings it to $5.
