It's great that Ilumya is a Part B drug, meaning most people with Medigap plans will pay nothing, depending on their chosen plan. It's important for Medicare beneficiaries to also consider that if they enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, they will pay the plan's rate for Part B drugs. This can easily be found in the plan's Summary of Benefits.

Thank you for explaining everything clearly! Very helpful.

I'm now starting on a 2nd provider of a biologic medication. The 1st was ineffective. In both cases, without a kickin by the drug manufacturer to provide the medication free, it would be totally impossible to afford the co-pays, which are in the thousands of dollars. Work with your dermatologist to complete an application for free medication. They are income-based, but for retirees (unless you are rich, lol) you should easily qualify.

Will it also be Rx'd for Psoriatic Arthritis?

Very interesting! Thank you for providing more information about this option!

Please consider creating a video on coverage of TMS (Transcranial magnetic stimulation) which I brought up to Mike of your agency last week in the course of purchasing an N Medigap supplement. You will be ahead of the game v others who think it's snake oil or have no knowledge of it at all.
