What's The Copay For Xeljanz With Medicare.

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Cedar City, UT

I'm debating whether or not to quit my job and get on SSD. I'm worried that I won't be able to afford the copayments Medicare requires for Xeljanz. Currently I have a really low copay with insurance from my job plus copay assistance from the pharmaceutical company (which will go away once I get on Medicare). Can anyone give me an idea?

Are you sure you can get on SSD? I have been trying for 3 yrs now for my SSD with lawyers. I also have many other medical problems and have not received it yet. Also they told me it takes 2years after receiving SSD to get the insurance coverage.

I was approved with the company who makes the medication. I don't have to pay anything and the meds are mailed to me directly. Other wise I wouldn't be able to afford the medication it's 2900.00 for a month supply. Medicare pays nothing on that medication

Xeljanz Pharmaceutical / Xelsorce # (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) talk to one of the reps. They will send you a application for you and your doctor to fill out. Just need proof of income and doctors script for the meds as soon as verified they mail you the medication. Takes about 2 weeks or less.
