I was just diagnosed with crohns and the next day laid off of work. Looking for health insurance that covers crohns medication, but I’m at a loss. Any recommendations?

      Tell your doctor about your work situation - they likely have some type of patient advocate that can help you figure out the best med and different programs through the manufacturer that sometimes completely cover the cost for situations like this.

      Not sure what medication you’re on, but I’ve been on Remicade (infliximab) since 2011 and my doctor then told us about a program called Remistart where we only pay like $5 out of pocket with the medicine itself is like $5000. There’s definitely programs out there. Talk to your doctor and/or research based on your medication. Best of luck!

      The Crohn medications I’ve been on, my insurance covered them so you should be good.
