These drugs can cost thousands of dollars a month, so drugmaker programs and charity foundations matter most. Lower-cost biosimilars are now available for Humira and Stelara.

Common questions

What’s the cheapest way to get autoimmune and skin medication?

It depends on the drug and how you pay. Check whether a generic or biosimilar exists first, then the maker’s assistance program. On Medicare, look at Extra Help. Each guide below shows the best starting point for your situation.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare?

No. Federal law bars drugmaker copay cards for Medicare, Medicaid, VA and TRICARE. Extra Help, charity foundations and drugmaker free-drug programs can still help.
