on 9/22/08 I picked up rebif at the pharmacy for $ 2,320.39
In feb. 2008 the cost was 1,894.31 That is about a 22% increase and it occurs monthly.
I am on medicare.
I am on social sec. disability.I also have private disability from employment
In jan 2008 medicare . gov predicted drug costs to be less than they are...I was told by blue cross that cost is determined by the market value. 
WOODHAVEN-I SUGGESt montel williams assistance program-he has MS and would luv to see everyone get the medicine they need-PAN-patient assistance net work -if you're accepted will pay copays up to 4,000.00-I used to think that would suffice!! but NOT!! This year or last. |
Do you have a link for the Montel Williams Assistance Program--Patient Assistance Network??
I found that Rebif is on Partnership for Patient Assistance for which Montel Williams is a spokesperson: www.pparx.org
Here is the information for Patient Assistance (Pfizer)MS LifeLinesSM Patient Assistance Program
c/o Assistance Program Administrator
PO Box 5816

I hope this helps anyone in need of assistance in obtaining Rebif.
