Insurance Coverage
How to get affordable access to HUMIRA®
Most Americans have prescription-drug coverage through their health insurance plans, and the majority of people with prescription-drug
coverage have access to HUMIRA.
Insurance re-enrollment: Be sure your plan offers access to HUMIRA
You may have heard the term "open enrollment period." This is your opportunity to evaluate your health coverage and either change
the insurance plan you have with your current provider—or switch to a new provider altogether. And since your treatment is so
important, here are some things you should find out about the coverage of HUMIRA:
- Ask your insurance provider what your cost will be if you are prescribed HUMIRA.
- If you're considering switching insurance providers, find out what your new plan covers before you enroll.
- Since specialists such as rheumatologists or dermatologists are also an important part of your treatment, find out which ones are available through
your plan. Do the same for any other caregivers you may need, such as physical therapists or psychologists. Also, find out if you need a
referral from your primary care physician (PCP) to see a specialist and what that requires.
- You should also consider the many other factors that will impact your choice of an insurance
plan, including premium cost, deductible and other individual and family medical expenses.
If you are one of the 180 million Americans with prescription-drug coverage, HUMIRA is probably covered by your plan.
While some insurance plans require you to pay a fixed copay, other insurance plans cover a
percentage of the cost of these medications and require you to pay the rest. You can find out exactly what percentage your plan covers—and
what you are required to pay—by calling your insurance provider.
