rebif cost

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.

What is usually the cost of these meds? ( I am considering trying Rebif or Avonex) I have heard they run about $1500/month. I have to meet a $3000 deductible which means I may have to pay for my first dose. I don't have an extra $1500 floating around. I am really starting to freak out! But then again part of me figures I have probably had MS for 15-20 years an I am fine so far. I guess waiting another 1-2 months to start taking DMDs can't hurt. Can it?

Last year I got diagnosed with MS in the states , now I was supposed to get my treatment back home , however im having problems with my insurance here.. When I was there I heard that if I did some kind of couse in the country for at least 6 months I could get the treatment. I ll apreciate if anyone knows anything about this subject in Maryland or DC ..

Hi, There is no great source of information available in Singapore although I can tell you that Rebif will cost you around $7,000 for a 3 month supply or you can now get the new oral medication Gilenya which is taken orally everyday and costs around $130 per pill. No cheap treatments available here! My husband currently sees a Dr. Alvin Seah at Raffles Hospital perhaps if you call them they can give you an idea?

I was just wondering what devices other people use to inject their DMD. I'm on rebif and I use the RebiSmart injector. That's what they sent me and no one asked me what I wanted, but I'm glad because it's very easy to inject with.

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.

Through the MS LifeLines Access Made Simple program, you may be eligible to get Rebif® (interferon beta-1a) at no cost, or for no more than $50 per month, for up to one year of treatment. Best of all, MS LifeLines takes care of all the paperwork.... http://www. mslifelines. com/rebif/insurance/ access-made-simple. jsp?intcmp The following assistance programs info provided by MSAA...msassociation.

0T might show new lesions but we will not know if they are new or its a better image and just see more. My doc might not even pick up on that and say Rebif is not working when it might be!! I got the 1.5T, so I won the battle. However now i wonder if I was right?? What do you think?? BTW Oct MRI looked pretty good and Dr thinks Rebif is working!! This is just a follow up double check. Sorry I may have said that before.

I have been taking Rebif injections, since January 2010, and I have never missed a single one, until now. Up until January 1, 2012, I have received my Rebif injections, free of charge, due to the fact I had no health insurance. I became eligible for Medicare, on January 1, 2012, and so I have had to wait for MS Lifelines to decide whether I'm still eligible for their "free of charge" program.

You can also get your meds from Express Script and they will send you three months of Rebif and the cost will be 9.00 for 3 months. Express Script is great because they send me my Zolof every three months and I don't even call them to refill. The cost of my Zolof is 3.00 for three months. So far TRICARE has been great with everything--I could not ask for a better insurance company.

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!

Hi all, my neurologist really wants me to go on Rebif 44mg immediately. I said no. After reading all the side possible side effects like it stressing your liver and making a low white blood cell count, plus it sounds like it makes you sick most days . . . AND then seeing the line on the Rebif website that said: "The PRISMS study also showed only 26% of people taking Rebif 44 mcg had disability progression—as opposed to 37% of those taking a placebo.

First some background info for everyone... I was going through 100's tests and MRI's over the past 6 years and both neurologists I was seeing adapted the "wait and see approach". Then in late December 2008 I had mononeucleosis and on January 2,2009 I was struck with a severe exasperation and could not control my legs and arm movements...

s w Medicaid. Not even able to get the rebif yet, which i NEED. Will they approve me for that, since i am not at all able to work?

Yes, I am on rebif for 11 months and must take advil liquid gels To stave off headache fever that wakes me up!

So the ins company wont pay for Copaxone or Gilynia until my daughter first tries Rebif (i guess because its cheaper for them.) I have a concern with her being on an interferon due to the possible mental health side effects. She is already on Lexapro for anxiety and mild depression. I dont want anything adding to the issue. We have dr app tomorrow to discuss Rebif but I dont want her on it. Anyone have bad side effects with Rebif??? Any advise for me?? Thank you.

Hello. Does anyone take Rebif for MS? Is it helping? How long before any improvement? Does anyone think that it's just a false hope with nasty side effects? Thanks.

I have been on Rebif for four months now, and I am not going to do another shot, I can't handle the side effects. I've tried premedicating and nothing seems to work. How many of you are in the same situation? and what did you do?

I took my first shot of Rebif today. I gave myself the shot and i thought this is great no stinging, no redness, no lump like i had with Copaxone. Then WHAM!!!! I had abdominal pain about an hour after the shot it lasted for about 6hrs The only thing i could compare it to was a 6hr nonstop labor pain. We will see what happens Monday when i take the next shot. Does anyone else get this abdominal pain on Rebif.

Is there anyone using Rebif for MS? if so how are you getting on with this treament?

Is anyone currently taking Rebif? And does anyone know anything about it? I was just (finally) diagnosed with MS, though my Neuro wouln't say which kind it was... and is planning on putting me on Rebif. It's been 2 years since my symptoms started, and haven't had any kind of relapse or relief in any symptoms, they just keep coming.
