Getting Humira while studying abroad for a year


Tue, June 20, 2017 10:02 AM

My son is studying abroad for 10 months and takes Humira.  Our US insurer will only allow two 90 day vacation overrides within a 365 day period and will not reimburse if we buy the medication in Europe locally.  We are trying to obtain an additional 90 day vacation override.  Has anyone else faced this issue and can you suggest solutions?  Has anyone safely shipped Humira from the US to Europe (our specialty pharmacy will only ship to the US, so we would have to ship it to Europe ourselves).  Thanks!
