Actemra (Tocilizumab)

Important Information About Actemra

If you are getting your Actemra treatments at a hospital or home care or even if you are self-administering a medication, Pace could save you money. Getting care at Pace counts toward your medical deductible and with the high cost of medications, you typically quickly hit your out-of-pocket deductibles.  We work with the pharmaceutical companies to enroll you in their copay plans. What this means is that your out-of-pocket high deductible expense is met and covered by the drug company so that future medical expenses are met for the remainder of the year.  Unfortunately Medicare Advantage customers cannot take advantage of these savings and are required to meet actual deductibles out of pocket.  Some pharmaceutical programs exist to cover the costs, but each case is different.  If you have questions about the different plans, please contact us.   Please complete the contact form or call our office to discover the savings for both you and your employer by switching to Pace.
