I don’t think Medicare covers it at present, or at least it didn’t last time I checked. Self-administration issue. I might not be current on that, though.

I take this stuff, well the very similar Remicade, which works against TNF-alpha. Remicade is infused using an IV. Enbrel is similar and is self-injected, I think subcutaneously.

The method described here is a spinal-column injection. I doubt there would be any off-label prescriptions that would allow that method until approved that way.

The stuff has been miraculous for my arthritis!
