I am a user of Remicade since 2005. Your infusions are covered by Medicare Part B with the balance picked up by your insurance company. Be careful about your provider requesting that you purchase the Remicade vials from your pharmacy. If so, the Remicade comes under your prescription plan and they cost a bit over $1,000 per vial. However, if the doctor or infusion facility provides the Remicade, the cost of the Remicade is included as part of your medical treatment.
Finding a good Rheumatologist here is difficult. For Crohns, your Gastroenterologist could prescribe the Remicade. To my knowledge, the only location for these infusions is Florida Cancer Specialists with two locations here - one in Lady Lake and the other in the Brownwood section - both excellent facilities.
