Costs
Enbrel® is a relatively expensive drug. The treatment costs for a single injection are several hundred euros and the entire treatment usually costs several thousand euros.As a rule, however, the drug is only prescribed if it is covered by health insurance. If the indication is justified, this is usually unproblematic for both private and statutory insurance.
However, it is recommended to clarify the assumption of costs in advance. In exceptional cases, the medication can be prescribed in consultation with the doctor even if the costs are not covered. In this case, however, the patient must pay for the medication himself.
