Kim,
There is a program through Enbrel called The Encourage Foundation". It is administered by RX Crossroads out of Louisville, KY, the telephone number is 1-800-981-9591. I understand that it is income based and RX Crossroads handles everything for Enbrel. I have received free shots from the Encourage Foundation since 2004 and they have been wonderful providing everything from the shots to shipping for free.
Call RX Crossroads at the toll free number and they will put you in touch with a caseworker to see if you meet the eligibilty requirements. Good Luck!

You guys are seeing one side of the picture here. Haven't you ever learned that nothing is free? If you want to see your taxes go up by 80%, rationed health care, and wait a year to get an MRI, you too can enjoy socialized medicine. There is no pot of gold, folks.

Hi, this women knows nothing of what she speaks. Government aided programs are great. France for one is using this system and has the best health care I have ever experienced, first hand. People know nothing about the alternatives and live out of fear of what others and media are telling false information about. We all would be better off with a better health program. We are rated #37 in the world! Most of the top rated plans (rated by the public that use the plans)are in countries that have gov aided programs. Helps control the out of control pricing for drugs and keeps insurance companies in line.

I am retired and receiving social security and unemployment and cannot afford enbrel. My medicare started in Aug. and Plan D quoted me $3000 for 3 months supply of Enbrel. I need financial aid in order to continue using this drug. If anyone knows of any grants or where I can get financial aid, please advise.

Call the "Encourage Foundation" it is managed by RX Crossroads at 1-800-981-9591. They have casemanagers and will give you the shots, supplies, and shipping for free if you meet the income guidelines. The shots will be delivered directly to your front door by UPS. I have been on the program since 2005 and it has been a blessing. Good luck and God Bless.
