Has anyone heard of these support groups set up by the Drug companies to help cover the costs of enbrel? My monthly cost on this drug is like 560.00. If I have to pay it I will but any help would be great as well.
Any information would be great!!!
I have heard that enbrel is like a dream come true drug for many and I am hoping it will enbrel me to stop pill popping like a mad man.

Yes some drug companies have programs to offset the costs of their meds. You sould be able to find out if there is one for Enbrel by going to their website or contacting them at one of the numbers on the insert that comes in the box of meds. Another resource could be your pharmacist many times they will know if such programs exsist.

There are several foundations out there that are set up to help with the high cost of drugs. I use Enbrel and I have used a couple of different foundations. The one I use currently is the Chronic Disease Fund. You have to apply and they determine what the ultimate benefit they will pay based on your level of income. You can Google the Chronic Disease Fund and get all the info and forms you need off of their web site.
Good luck to you!

Check out the HealthWell Foundation.  They are great. It depends on whether or not they are full for each disease and if you qualify financially which isn't hard to do with our expenses! They pay my Remicade co-pay.  Best wishes. Possi

BIGDAS, Take a look at this thread: Financial Assistance with Meds. There is a ton of info in these threads and several COPAY ASSISTANCE places. I have used 800MedExpress and they were awesome!!! I have had probs with the same issue. Also, call your insurance company and asked what type of copay assistance programs that THEY know of. My rheumatologist gave me the info about 800MedExpress playing nice with BCBS of Alabama. (<-----nightmare, BCBS OF AL) Good luck!! If I can help in anyway, let me know!! Holly
