Biologics cost v age v benefits.
To see benefits of biologics make up for the cost of the medication and if so what is the sliding scale for the age of taking your first injection for improvement and damage control so that we don't use the insurance benefit too quickly as we age.
Thanks so much for reaching out,
! I'm trying to make sure that I understand your comment clearly. It sounds like you are wondering about biologics and cost. The cost of treatments depend on the type of insure (and coverage) you have, although many drug manufacturers offer patient assistance programs to help lower prescription costs. (This is something you can ask your doctor about or contact the drug company directly. I'm linking an article here with more information https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/resources-cost.) As far as what age to start treatment it is generally believed that the earlier treatment is started the more quickly damage can be controlled, and thus minimized, but this would also be a great question to ask your doctor as he/she will know your personal history best. I hope that helps answer your question, but please feel free to reach out if I misunderstood or if you have other questions or concerns. Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
