Some insurances have gone public and stated that they are
making BIOLOGICALS fourth tier. This means they will still cover them, but there will be more copay to donate by the patient.

The beginning of this was in 2008, so it stands to reason that
others are following now.

This includes other biologically derived drugs, like Remicade,
Humira etc.

You should call your insurance and find out for sure if this or another reason has been applied.
