Orencia (abatacept) is also a biologic DMARD; it’s available as an infusion or an injection. If you have an infusion, your doctor will administer the drug through a vein in your arm.
Because you obtain infusions outside the home, Part B covers them. If you have a Medigap plan, it will pay the coinsurance costs.
The sticker price for one Orencia infusion is $4,043, but the manufacturer says most Medicare patients pay from $0 to $808.
If you take Orencia injections at home, the medication falls under Part D. Your benefits will depend on the kind of plan you have.
