copaxone

Avatar f tn They have copay assistance if you have insurance. They sent me a letter to reapply and the deadline for 2012 was December 5 2011. I am not sure if that deadline is for reapplying. You have to reapply every year. The Copay assistance is a separate arm of TEVA I believe not for profit. It is a limited amount per year of assistance. You send in your tax returns or pay stubs, etc. to show your income.
Avatar n tn that's outrageous! I take copaxone and it costs me a $25 copay, thankfully. I don't feel very bad either, but I am keenly aware that now is the time to nip this in the bud before more lesions occur and then I don't feel so fine! Aetna should be ashamed!!
645390 tn?1338555377 Copaxone now charges my insurance $3997/month. My copay is $30 but Shared Solutions pays my copay. It is available for EVERYONE regardless of income. Just call SS and ask for the paperwork.
Avatar m tn Yes, call Shared Solutions, I only pay $35.00 a month with their help.
Avatar m tn if Rebif has been working you hate to make a change. There are very good patient assistance programs and like C wrote, they often bring the copay down to zero. I believe Rebif and Copaxone are about to fall off the list of drugs eligible for us in the UK on the NHS... they didn't feel the efficacy of the drug was worth the cost. One of the injectables fell off our formulary last year too, I think it might have been betaseron would no longer be covered.

5987625 tn?1377887866 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.
Avatar f tn I'm on tecfidera and am on Biogen's copay assistance. I don't pay more than 10 for each refill. It was very very easy to join the copay assistance for me...
338416 tn?1420045702 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.... Shared Solutions was great about getting me set up immediately with a pack of Copaxone, and I was able to get a conditional acceptance over the phone for my financial assistance. 100%! Yee-haw, as we say in Texas.
147426 tn?1317265632 In May I applied to the Chronic Disease Fund for help. I was awarded help and they pay all but a $30 copay. They run out of money each year near the end, but take new applications at the beginning of each year. You can contact them by doing a simple search for Chronic Disease Fund and getting their phone number. It is needs based and they will require financial data.
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.
Avatar f tn i went through Nord first and that took about 6 months before I heard anything on wether I would get any help then 6 more weeks before I received my first 3 month supply of copaxone. I now get assistance from a place in Fla. I hear from them within a month after I send in all of the info that they need. They call and talk to you instead of sending a letter. Shared Solutions helped with finding them when Nord stop with there assitance program.
Avatar f tn I was reading the question that were posted about copaxone and I am currently on my husband insurance and my copay is $40.00 a month but they pay $5.00 and I only pay $35.00 a month. Well my situation is changing and I really need to find a way to pay for this medicine. I check with my insurance on my job and it will not cover this medicine. I need help. I read this other lady post and she said they told her she didnt qualify, that is what I am afraid of.
2063887 tn?1337829746 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.
Avatar f tn My copay is $100 a month but I applied for needs based copay assistance from the drug maker and they help me out. I realized it would be more expensive in the long run for me not to be on my DMD. Try not to dwell on costs at the beginning. I freaked myself out so bad I decided it was better for my family if I did not treat my MS. If you had cancer you would find a way. We have just as much right to health care as anyone.
Avatar f tn They are also in competing with all the other MS drug companies to keep your business.. Teva mostly does generics and breaks everyone else's patents. They own hundreds of generic drug companies around the world. The only patent medicines they do are high price MS and Cancer drugs. Copaxone took them over twenty years to get on the market. They tried it as a pill first and it did not work in the digestive system.
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.
1831849 tn?1383228392 Laura, aka Lulu54 mentioned that there may be copay assistance programs available. I went to the Genentech website and found a wealth of information about assisatance for payments associated with many conditions. None of these were MS. I have a call in to them. but sustpecty that since Rituxan for MS is off label there is no program at Genentech. Does anyone know of any fiancial assistance programs for Rituxan?
Avatar m tn does anyone know of any copay assistance programs that would help with copayments .for my osteoarthritis?
1532707 tn?1312155924 My brain is slowing down and took so long composing that posts sneeked in before mine. lol So now there's a question on the table. Yes, Copaxone is SQ. It's a bigger volume than the usual dose of insulin -- 1ml in each prefilled syringe. I also am comfortable handing the equipment and can give myself a 'naked' injection.
