I was told i had RA. They told my mom some numbers or something, like the normal number is 20 or lower, and i was at 23, meaning i had RA, what these numbers stand for, i don’t know. The doctor also said that with severe cases the number climbs to about 300-400. I don’t ever want it to get that bad. How can i keep RA under control? Or at least what can i do to help prevent it from getting worse? Something? I don’t want it to stop me from being able to do things eventually.

Drugs Falling Under Part B — Covered By Med Supp Insurance?

I know a medicare advantage plan requires me to pay a 20% co-pay for drugs covered under part b medicines. But I understand that if I have basic medicare along with a medigap policy (either plan f or J), it will take care of all the part b meds. Do you know if i will need to pay a co-pay? I asked the medical billing department at me doctor’s office but she was really hesitant to tell me. Oh, in case it matters: it is Orencia — infusions for rheumatoid arthritis — my doctor’s office does the infusions out of his office so that it does fall under part b drugs.
