copaxone financial assistance

If you do not have insurance or if you need help paying for Copaxone, Shared Solutions can refer you to other financial assistance programs. To speak with someone at Shared Solutions, call 1-800-887-8100.Your doctor's office or the local chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society should also be able to assist you in determining financial options for affording treatment. More Information: Copaxone is made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

If Shared Solutions thinks you won't qualify for any kind of assistance, I'm not sure what to tell you. They have two kinds of financial assistance - partially funded and completely funded assistance. I'm on the 100% assistance plan, but then, I'm broke!

I got on the financial assistance plan for Copaxone, and when I switched to Betaseron, they were able to give me the same deal.

Does anyone know about any financial assistance programs? I'm in Arizona. My neurologist wants me to take Tecfidera and just found out that I'm not eligible to get the $10 copay because I'm on MEDICARE. Been on SS disability since 1992 and have take four of the injectables for MS. Had to stop all of them because of side effects.

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?

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.

I am supposed to be contacted soon by Shared Solutions to start on copaxone. I have been told that they offer financiaL aid but I am wondering how much "red tape " is involved. If I can't find help i paying for it I won't be able to take it at all. Me & my hubby are financially wiped out from all my medical issues & I do well to even afford to take my neurontin each month much less anything else. thank you!!

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%!

http://www.copaxone.com/supportServices/insurAssist.aspx I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I do like Copaxone, and I'm glad that I chose this medicine over the others.

Plan and simple I switched my insurance and now I am finding some medications are not affordable.I am looking for financial assistance, I am on a very limited income. It's disability.

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.

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.

hate to be the bearer of bad news but they are mostly Tier 4. Many of the drug companies have financial assistance, some more than others. Then, unfortunately, there are people who don't take anything either because they don't want to or can't afford to. MS is not a cheap date, for sure but can be a demanding one. Wish I could have given you better news!

I finally figured out that the Copaxone was causing me to have severe migraines so we had to change our plan of action. They wanted me to decide which way to go, but sort of led the discussion towards Tysabri. My original neurologist wanted to start with that as well, but after appealing to the insurance several times they wouldn't approve it. This doctor actually took the time to talk and write down facts about my situation to back up the need.

My neurologist was furious at the cavalier attitude with the county attending physician, but suggested that Shared Solutions may have a financial assistance program. I am going to go on Feb. 11th in Los Angles to see if I can get some help. This last week I have been experiencing an exacerbation that is affecting my balance...I keep falling to the right and my legs are very weak. The fatigue is overwhelming. I am hopeful that this will help my overall health.

Thanks you guys. That really helped knowing that I am not the only one going through this. I am very grateful for your responses.

Hey, if you're on a limited income, check with Shared Solutions to see if they have financial assistance available to you. I haven't been taking it (until today!) because I couldn't afford it, and the hassle of getting my specialty pharmacy to recognize that there was financial assistance was too much for my foggy noggin.

I wanted to share some encouraging news for people who have Chronic Hep B and have financial difficulty affording Baraclude. I contacted Brystol Myers Squibb and applied for the Patient Assistance Program. The website and application is here: http://www.bms.com/products/Pages/programs.aspx It took about a week and they have approved me to receive the medication and are shipping it to my home.

If you make lower then your cities standard income for families you can do to your local family services and sign up for temporary assistance for needy families. (Tanf) you can also apply for food stamps and child care costs if your wanting to find a job they provide child care as well at least that's how it is in mo. Good luck hope u figure something out!

Hi there, there is a lot of financial assistance available, here is one place, also if you look up Harvoni you can find their site. They not only provide financial assistance but can help you in other ways. i.e. helping find a doctor etc. Here is one place for financial assistance, there are others. http://www.panfoundation.

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!
