I don't know if your insurance is through work or Medicare. When I had work insurance, I got in touch with company that made my expensive medicine, they had a program that helped me with the expense of it
Now I am disabled and get Medicare a,b, and advantage Medicare (part c)
I was able to get help through the Medicaid office and get help with my part b premium and the co-pays of my meds and other co-pays. See what you can do, don't give up.

How can you afford Benlysta when your copay is over $1,200?
That copay is incredibly frustrating, especially when you need treatment that works. While the search results don't specifically address Benlysta cost assistance, here are some options worth exploring:
Financial assistance programs to investigate:
- Contact the Benlysta manufacturer (GlaxoSmithKline) directly about patient assistance programs or copay cards
- Ask your doctor's office if they have a financial counselor who can help navigate assistance options
- Check if you qualify for foundation grants that help with medication costs
- Explore whether your insurance has a specialty pharmacy that might offer better pricing
Alternative approaches:
- Ask your doctor about appealing to your insurance for a lower tier copay, especially since methotrexate didn't work
- Inquire if there are other treatment options that might be more affordable while still being effective
- See if your doctor can provide documentation of medical necessity to reduce your copay
Many MyLupusTeam members have faced similar challenges with expensive medications. Don't give up - manufacturer assistance programs often significantly reduce or eliminate copays for people who qualify.
