copaxone

1936411 tn?1333831849 In my brief time on Copaxone I found the Shared Solutions staff to be pleasant but ultimately very unhelpful. They must stick to a script and are not allowed to deviate, which natch makes for weird conversations, and probably accounts for her repeated statements which did not address your issues. Since they were of no help, had to revert to my neuro, and maybe that was for the best.
Avatar f tn My Dr. put me in touch with shared solutions when I was dignosed with MS 8 yrs ago. They have been very helpful to me since I don't have any health insurance. 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.
776614 tn?1265822754 I've been on Copaxone for just about a yr now. I've had amazing care and help with shared solutions. I just recently went through a divorce and they offered me their full assistance coverage for my copaxone. It is based off your income and it only took 5 minutes on the phone. Call them at 800-887-8100. I had United Healthcare ins when i was married but they still covered me.
Avatar m tn I have been having a lot of stress and anxiety for the last 7 months. Shared solutions did not know if it was due to the Copaxone of not. I have never had a flareup last this long and saw a web-sight where some had quit Copaxone because of the same reason and got better then resumed taking Copaxone and started the same symptoms. I have been off of the Copaxone for two weeks and have not gotten better therefore I am going to start taking it again.
Avatar n tn I am also on Copaxone - can I suggest that you talk with them again at Shared Solutions and ask what criteria they use for patient assistance? They fund for people without insurance or underinsured through NORD - national organization of rare disease. Unfortunately it sometimes takes more than one phone call to connect with the right people at SS to get help. If you can't work it out with SS you might talk to your neurologist about other options.
Avatar n tn Your friend may already have a plan in place, with this reduction being temporary while she gets an insurance issue worked out,... but it would be nice of you to ask her whether she has spoken to Shared Solutions (the company that manages Copaxone distribution) about her current insurance status to see if they can help.
Avatar f tn I would call your Shared Solutions nurse. They will give you the best information. You can take tomorrow's show wishin 12 hours of the next shot. Wait, talk to Shared Solutions and follow their recommendations.
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.
Avatar m tn Have you tried calling Shared Solutions? 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.
1396846 tn?1332459510 Have my autoinjector, recieved a welcome package from shared solutions now just waiting to the inusrance and I will be on my way.
Avatar m tn I am signing up for Medicare and discovered my contribution on Copaxone will be approximately $5000 a year. On my old insurance my payment was $600 a year. Living on a fixed income I won't be able to continue Copaxone if I don't find help, shared solutions doesn't help with people on Medicare. Anyone have this problem?
1876457 tn?1322405589 Can anyone explain the way Medicare works with part d coverage for copaxone? The term catastrophic coverage has raised my eyebrow a smidge. I'm awaiting a call back from shared solutions and their "medicare" expert team. If im understanding the sales lady right, she informed me I would be responsible for the first $4700 approx.?
667078 tn?1316000935 With all I have been put through with Shared Solutions, they called me again inviting me to sign up for the DISCOUNT PROGRAM. Then they say you applied but you are not eligible. I asked why when you know I am not eligible do you call me all the time offering me the discount and get me upset again. Are you just sadistic? It says on the computer I am not eligible. I had a bad reaction to Copaxone last night but I sure was not going to call these idiots.
645390 tn?1338555377 I'm on Copaxone and have a $30.00 co-pay. Shared Solutions called me and wanted me to know that they would pay the co-pay for me. I'm still waiting for the application. Also, the drug company that Copaxone comes from also has a plan to cover the co-pay. The price of Copaxone is 2500.00/mo that my insurance covers.
572651 tn?1530999357 I just now received a call with a recorded message from Shared Solutions/Teva saying to discard Triad alcohol swabs that come packed in the box with Copaxone but to continue using the Copaxone, prepping with bottled or single use alcohol wipes available for purchase at your local drugstore. It's about time.
Avatar f tn I know that our monthly payment for Copaxone is going to break the bank. Will Shared Solutions be able to offer any practical ideas for assistance? Combined, my husband and myself share a nice income; however, we have 3 kids and daycare, clothing, food, housing, etc. are all expensive. I'm not sure how much else we can take on and stay afloat. Sometimes I think that universal healthcare is the way to go.
667078 tn?1316000935 They claim the problem is with the Copay assistance ant Shared Solutions. So you have to start the whole process over with Shared Solutions. Then back and forth between Medco and Shared Solutions. Not to mention having to apply for assistance twice with exactly the same documentation in a six month period. This time I just paid the $150 overcharge and skipped the rest because my time, blood pressure and, mental health are worth it. I also no I never have to deal with either company again.
398059 tn?1447945633 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 not sure where my disease will go but I have met many MS patients who did not have the advantage of DMDs when they were diagnosed but they all say I am so lucky to have a chance to slow the progression.
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 m tn The first place to call is Shared Solutions, which is the company that manages the distribution of Copaxone. They help me with my copay.
382218 tn?1341181487 DV- the Shared Solutions nurse on the phone had me back my needle off to a 9 almost immediately after I started the copax and like you I find it made a big differencei n the discomfort. I won't lie and say I don't feel the after effects, but they are minimal and I don't have the urgent need to ice the injection site like I did initially. Patientx, I have been on copaxone just under 3 months.
Avatar f tn This definitely sounds like something you should report both to your doc and to Shared Solutions. I think you should be sure to have an injection training nurse come out to look at the blisters, because they would be the ones to have seen it before if it is a common reaction. It doesn't sound like any of the reactions I have had, especially the weeping. Take care.
Avatar m tn I agree about Shared Solutions. They will tell you anything, as long as you continue to use their drug. I still use the autoject that came with my Copaxone. I have the needle set to the shallowest setting, and I use only my thighs, hips, stomach, and my upper stomach. I've stopped using the back of the arm, because I often hit a blood vessel and cause bad bruising. Another thing the doctor told me is that any fat pocket is suitable.
