radicava

Maybe this should be a new thread, but does anyone on this forum know what kind of co-pays occur for Radicava with private insurance (non-Medicare)? My experience when I was working as a rheumatologist, prescribing biological infusion drugs for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, was that if...

Hi I'm still working FT but feel I need to quit soon. It's getting harder and I'm getting slower and more stressed. The reason I haven't quit yet is because I need my insurance. I really want to get on Radicava and I'm afraid that if I quit work I'll have to wait 5 months to get on Medicare...
