So… found out yesterday my copay for the MS drugs is $3,024.55, monthly. There’s a generic brand, but the pharmaceutical company won’t give me a copay cost because my neurologist needs to call and get a coupon. 😳 called neuro office, said it’s just a formality to find other solutions for me because of Medicare guidelines. MS drugs covered but must pay 33% copay. 😐 I have to continue to advocate for myself to figure out how to get meds so I will feel better. No one has a solution, so I continue to keep tracking, fighting, problems since 2013. Year 5… oh but… Medicare will cover 80% of a $25,000 motorized wheelchair, cochlear implants, gastric bypass surgeries, but not MS meds that could help me. 😡
Drug companies are just evil! What medication is that you are taking? Most drug companies have a co-pay assistance program. I am on Gilenya and there is an assistance program for that and I know Tecfidera has one as well.
