Its all about money. As far as I know, the most expensive is Remicade because of the need for RNs to give it to you. The cheaper drugs are Methx and Arava and maybe a couple more that I have not taken. The truth of it is that your immune system must be controlled and the insurance need to do that so that they do not have to pay for $40, 000 joint replacements but in my world its about my arteries and veins and organs that inflam.arth can ruin. harv
the expense of remicade is the drug, the mark up, not the nurses. i know from the breakdown of the bill. the costs from the hosptial itself is minimal as compared to the drug cost. jeffy "Harvey R.

I know the cost of the Remicade itself is high but Soc.Sec is involved which probably pushed the cost up. In some peoples world the cost of having the gov. involved is free and they need to look a little clooooser. IMO Harv

When an RN has 4, 5, 6 people in chairs receiving Remicade (or another drug), the per-person expense is much less. If the doctor's office is conducting drug trials (like mine is) the drug manufacturer pays for the RN's time. ...
