My wife was on the Orencia treatment while we were in Salem Illinois and now that we have returned to California, our insurance does not cover the Orencia, but does offer the Rituxan.
What is the cost for this medication, on the first two treatments?

i think these meds are based alot on whether you get it at home or either an iv infusion. but before i get on the rituxan i would do some research about these drugs. i don't know if your wife has been on these type of drugs other than orencia. i did some research, now this was 4 years ago; and there have been new drugs since then. when i did my research i did not care for the drug rituxan, i chose enbrel instead. but there again i do not know your wife's history. it is something she might want to talk to her dr about. good luck

I don't know what it costs but I do know that before I had Rituxion my hip was so bad I couldn't even get through the grocery store, the pain was excruciating. After they found I had Lymphoma and gave me the Rituxion for the cancer my hip cleared up like nothing was ever wrong!
