Copaxone patient assistance program

Common Questions and Answers about Copaxone patient assistance program

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.
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!
2047903 tn?1330187549 Hi Monnie, If you find you are unable to pay for the meds, you can use this link in this discussion to type in the medicine and it should have the patient assistance program info for that particular med. Alex gives great advice, it is cheaper to treat it now than potentially later when DMDs are less effective. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Multiple-Sclerosis/Topic-Wants-Patient-Assistance-Sites-for-Medicine/show/1739860?
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm not in your situation but just wanted to suggest something I've seen others here talk about. Apparently Teva has a patient assistance program who provides substantial support. It seems to me that the co-pay can be pretty nominal. I believe the first step in making a request is to contact Shared Solutions. Good luck!
1207048 tn?1282174304 My insurance doesn't cover my Copaxone but as soon as the patient assistance program approved me, Shared Solutions set up a nurse visit and had the pharmacy contact me to set up delivery. I'd say it only took about a week for those two things to happen. Good luck!!
Avatar n tn The patient support program, Shared Solutions, can help you determine if your insurance plan covers Copaxone. The website states: 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.
648910 tn?1290663083 I probably should have also mentioned that MSAA (Multiple Sclerosis Association of American) has an equipment distribution program and a cooling equipment distribution program. I would recommend anyone with MS or waiting on a dx go to the site and join. After joining they sent me an introductory packet with a lot of info.
645390 tn?1338555377 Through my pharmacy company the cost without insurance or shared solutions is almost $4000. However with my insurance and the shared solutions program I only pay $30 per month. Doesn't Copaxone have a payment assistance program other than shared solutions which is for uninsured under insured individuals.
Avatar f tn Rebif has a very good assistance program, ms lifelines -- -- no income verification etc. & will work with or without insurance. It's just a short phone call to get it set up.
572651 tn?1530999357 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.
572651 tn?1530999357 t afford to fill his copaxone rx. Can any of you give me some hints to share with him? Does TEVA offer any patient assistance programs?
Avatar m tn They helped me out tremendously and credited my bank card $2000 with their co-pay assistance program. I believe they said that they help up to $2500 (maybe a little less). Have you reached out-of-pocket on your insurance plan? I have and now the insurance company pays 100%. I don't know the type of insurance plan you have, but if you reach out-of-pocket, you shouldn't have to pay anymore. I reach out-of-pocket quickly with the Copaxone.
1876457 tn?1322405589 I am on Copaxone and I use their co-pay assistance. Go to www.sharedsolutions.com and see what you can find. They have co-pay assistance and another program. My co-pay is $75/month but they pay all but $35. Hope this helps!
Avatar m tn There is a program through the assistance fund, they help with many different MS Meds. I will find the number and get it posted asap. They help me with my co-pay, first with the copaxone then when i developed an allergy to that they now help me with my Avonex....
Avatar f tn Since MediCAID is a state funded assistance program (unlike MediCARE which is a federal program), what they do and don't pay for may vary from state to state and sometimes even from county to county. For the best information, I'd suggest you contact your local Social Services Office that you applied for the Medicaid through - they should be able to tell you if the medication is covered, or at the very least, be able to tell you who to contact to find out. Best of luck.
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?
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.
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.
