copaxone

Avatar n tn My insurance prescription coverage only covers generic drugs and since there is no generic drug for Copaxone it would cost me $10,000 for a 3 month supply! I obviously do not have that kind of money, not really sure who could afford that but anyway... I was working with Shared Solutions and their medication assistance only to be told that I was inelidgeable for the assistance.
Avatar n tn In was recently diagnosed with ms and selected copaxone. Aenta, my insurance provider said my copay for my presciption would be $434.00. This is a one month supply. I told them to just cancel the order as I could not afford to take this drug for the rest of my life. Anyone taking something that is not as outrageously priced? I feel fine just the funny feeling in my right hand and fingers is annoying.
645390 tn?1338555377 Shared Solutions called me today for all my info. She said she will call me early next week to give me the cost. She then said they offer financial assistance. So, I asked "roughly" what does she think will be my cost with my insurance. She said "typically" with my insurance, my part would be $2500.00-------PER MONTH!! Does this sound right? That will be a problem, to say the least.
Avatar m tn 00 every month just for Copaxone. The other drugs cost another $400.00. This leaves me with a lot of year left when money runs out. Assistance Fund helped a year ago ,however they only help if you have know insurance. I think I was a mistake. Need help.
Avatar f tn What is the best way to get help paying for copaxone or is there a generic version that is less expensive? I was hoping to start taking it soon, but Im afraid I can't afford it. Also, has anyone taken the new oral version? Is it less expensive? I was advised not to use it but I certainly will if I can afford it. Plus, what are the other benefits of using copaxone othr than slowing down the formation of new lesions. Will I get my energy back? Will my concentration get better?
2047903 tn?1330187549 I'm stressing about the cost of drugs. I don't even have a ballpark idea of what this is going to be like. I guess none of these drugs go on the first or second tier of my prescription coverage formulary. What happens if you don't have the money? Do some DMDs cost less than others?
Avatar f tn I can barely afford my health insurance which will also increase in cost come 2012! I've tried for financial assistance and get denied. My drug copay is 50%!
620048 tn?1358018235 Ouch! Have you talked to Shared Solutions about their patient assistance program? I'm currently on 100% financing for Copaxone. If I didn't have that, it would cost me $90 from Aetna per month.
338416 tn?1420045702 Took my Copaxone today, for the first time in six months. I've been off it because I couldn't afford it. Well, after my leg started acting wonky again, I went to the neuro and told him I was ready to get back on Copaxone. (This was when I still thought the copay was $75, like last time.) Then we started the process of financial assistance....
776614 tn?1265822754 Does anybody have any info on their experience trying to get Copaxone assistance thru Shared Solutions, and the NORD application? I'm scared enough of starting the treatment, but the uncertainty of waiting is drivng me bonkers!
Avatar m tn What plans cover at least some of the Rebif cost? My copay with Humana was about $300 per month. Would like not to exceed this amount.
398059 tn?1447945633 The Health Care system is harder on most of us than the disease. For me copaxone is crucial. My question to myself is not can I afford Copaxone but will it be more expensive in the long run if I don't find financial assistance through Shared Solutions and the MS Society and stay on the Copaxone? For me hospitalizations, infusions of steriods, wheel chairs, altering my house, nursing care, etc will cost more than Copaxone. Then there is quality of life.
572651 tn?1530999357 market, will be more expensive than injectable competitors such as Biogen Idec Inc.’s Avonex, Merck KGaA’s Rebif and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.’s Copaxone, which cost between about $2,800 and $3,200, for a standard month’s supply, according to the Web site destinationrx.com. “Gilenya pricing is based on the value it will deliver patients, the scientific innovation it represents and our investment in studies to support the product,” Althoff said.

790496 tn?1315615657 Found this website when I was looking up the cost of copaxone. It seems to answer some questions for us newly dx that are looking to do some research about this disease to try and understand what in the world is happening to us !!! I hope I am allowed to post it , sorry if I am not. http://ms.about.
338416 tn?1420045702 I hear you. I found out yesterday that my individual BCBS plan won't cover Copaxone. My yearly maximum prescription benefit is $2500 and this will cost "somewhere between $1700 and $2200 per month." Apparently they do not consider it a medical necessity -- like I would choose to inject myself daily just for fun! So I have to wait now and find out how to apply for NORD assistance. I'm not comfortable signing up for some online program for fear it'll be a scam.
Avatar m tn I use to be on my parents insurance and didn't really think that my MS was all that bad and then I started thinking more and more and it's bothering me know that I cannot get my copaxone for the MS. I have a little girl that cries cause well I am going through some issues that I didn't go through before and I just don't know what to do.
398059 tn?1447945633 Anyone here one with a diagnosis of MS and is having trouble getting disease modifying drugs, such as Copaxone or Rebif, due to lack of insurance, insurance company unwilling to pay or trouble with pharmaceutical company please tell your story as to why.
572651 tn?1530999357 My Copaxone assistance was like that plus I had to send all my tax forms every year which my husband did not care for.
147426 tn?1317265632 I just responded to someone else about the cost of Gilenya and recommended NORD. I hope this information helps - it is obscene the cost of some of these drugs for people who can least afford them.
Avatar f tn My doctor has given me options for medications for MS. These are expensive since they are considered specialty drugs. Tecfidera seems to be my safest choice for now, but I was told my insurance would only cover 50% and my payment would be about $3600. I don't have that kind of money to spend every month. I'm on unemployment. I know some of the drug companies have financial assistance....has anyone had experience with the financial assistance they provide?
648910 tn?1290663083 There is help available for the cost of DMDs - some from manufacturers and some from the NMSS I believe. Cost should not be a hindrance to getting something that can help you!
Avatar f tn Hi all My Neuro is going to start me on medication it is a shot every other day, as he did not think that Copaxone was going to do me much good, and the other drug he really wanted me not to take it as it is a last resort drug now I cannot remember what the name of the drug was, i should have written it down, this is a shot every other day can anyone tell me what this is likely to be so that i can look it up, Right now they are getting authorization from my insurance company and they said a
