Nucky, if you, or in this case Mrs N, is not on a federal prescription program like govt job related or Social Security for your prescription drug coverage, always check on-line at the manufacturer's website for the brand name drug and you may be able to obtain a coupon, especially if there is no generic alternative available.
For example, I have eye drops that cost about $300.00 and my insurance copay is about $180.00, but by signing up on the manufacturer website for the drug I can enroll in a program where I get a coupon reduction so my copay is only $30.00 every time I fill it. Sometimes the doctors already have the info for these programs in their offices, but if not just do it yourself on-line.
For example, here's the info for the drug you mentioned. Hope this link NOTHING but works -
Financial Support | XELJANZ(R) (tofacitinib) For UC | Safety Info
This particular one actually offers financial assistance even for those on SS but is probably income restricted. The coupon cards that are available for commercial insurances for this drug are not income restricted. PM me if I just confused the heck out of you with this wordy post - lol
