*** Please be advised, effective December 24, 2010 the WAC price for Tysabri (natalizumab) (IV) 300MG/15ML has been increased to $3291.35 per vial.***
That's monthly and does not include administration, infusion setup, supplies, etc. That's just the drug at wholesale price. Add in the costs added on by the pharmacy that gets it from the supplier and it more than doubles for me. I don't even want to tell you what my insurance pays when all is said and done.
Toss in the lab work every three months, the neuro appointment every three months, the MRI yearly or more and what you get is an absolute fear of insurance coverage limits and how soon you will reach your limit once the politicians get through gutting what was supposed to help people like us.
I pray that you find some way to get your Copaxone, Judy. When I got off Copaxone and went on Tysabri I had a 4 month supply in my fridge. I asked my neuro if he could donate it to someone who needed it and he said no, so I made sure it went to someone who needed it myself. I'd send you some if I had it and I don't care what the law says about sharing meds!
