My rheumatologist wants to switch me to Benlysta injectable - I've heard this can be expensive but I understand "expensive" is a relative term. If anyone feels comfortable sharing what their cost per month is for this med and if it was covered by their insurance? Thanks!

My co pay was $600 for the monthly infusion (not weekly injection) but because of my income, I qualified for a grant that covered the rest as well as my other lupus prescriptions

I was approved through the Benlysta Gateway program. My co-pay is $5.00 per auto injector. You give yourself one injection a week!

I have a person at the hospital working with me on the finances for Benlysta and this year I was able to get a grant to cover all the copays for all my lupus medications. The two grants she applied for that I recieved are from The Healthwell foundation and The Assistance Fund. Hope this helps!

I asked Benlysta Gateway, and they don't cover Medicare patients so infusion still $453 copays and injections not covered under my Medicare Part D or Benlysta Gateway. I'm on SSDI and cant afford my meds

I went through benlysta gateway program paying only $5 a month. They are good about assisting to help pay .
