http://www.rheumatology.org/public/acrast.asp?aud=patThank-you, Lynn.  This is really good information to have on hand. that's some terrific information.
 
too bad we can't "sticky" it for reference when needed..... 
Babs, I 'sticky' it to a word document in an RA file on my computer.  This is where I keep all my good info! It stays stuck on rheumatology.org. I receive assistance called Rituxan Rewards.  It is one of the few ones that will help you even if you have private insurance.  Actually, you had to have private insurance for this one.  I have also used the Healthwell Foundation in the past.  Help is out there...you just need to search, search, search.  Often your dr.'s office can point you in the right direction.  Mine filled out the paperwork and everything.Bump...Because I think it's important and helpful info I get co-pay assistance for my Humira. I'm not sure who it's sponsored by but I'll look. For the first 6 months it paid 100% of my 0 co-pay and then for 6 months it will pay 50%. I'm hoping to get them to do something else once my yaer it up.....but I'm not sure that will be possible.
 
I'll get the contact info and post it for those who might need it. I had to get my doctors office to give me the card originally; but doctors offices have these available if you ask them.

yeah....I know..
 
but I'll never remember that..
 
I'll book mark this thread in my favorites......I guess.
 
thanks for the suggestions
