Wife used Humira very successfully for 10 years and then insurance denied coverage. She was very upset since Humira was working so well. Her Dr then switched her to Cosentyx. She has only had 3 injections. Now she just found out that AbbVie approved her application for medication assistance with the myAbbVie Assist Patient Assistance Program and that they will cover cost for a year. This came as kind of a shock to us as we were not expecting this. That being said she wants to go back to Humira since she had sucess with it and only stopped 3 weeks ago becuase insurance denied it. Is it safe for her to switch back since it has only been 3 weeks?

My wife has been using Humira for over 10 years with excellent results. Now, her insurance (BCBS) has decided not to approve it anymore. She is transitioning to Cosentyx, and the process has not been smooth so far, even though she's only had three injections. We're quite disappointed that she had to stop Humira. I'm interested to hear from others who have been on Humira for a while or are just starting—how have you managed to get it approved, given that many insurance companies seem to be denying coverage for Humira now?
