Our meds are mostly paid for in Canada (universal health care), and I don't live in the US . . . but I hope some of the tips I've seen posted elsewhere might be helpful for you:

6.) Try calling the drug companies directly:
AVONEX: 1-800-456-2255
BETASERON: 1-877-836-5724
COPAXONE: 1-800-887-8100
NOVANTRONE: 1-877-447-3243
REBIF: 1-877-447-3243
TYSABRI: 1-800-456-2255
7.) Lower income patients can call Rx Council (1-866-794-3571) and tell them (or leave a message) what drug(s) you need. They will tell you who to get in touch with. It is for the lower income, and provides very low co-pays. Apparently you need a year's prescription with 3 refills.
8) 1-866-728-4368--Bridges to Access -- will direct you to the drug company that carries the med you need (order a 3 month supply).
