Can you call the folks that make your meds and ask for help?

Avonex assistance can help you with the copay in the donut hole. Just call patient assistance at: 1-800-456-2255. They are very reasonable, if I wasn't working partime I would be using it.

What kind of finacial requirements do they have for you to get this? We have our SS, pensions from work and 401Ks from work that are worth a lot now.

I don't even have that much income, and I don't qualify for help. The threshold is quite low.

It used to be $60,000 annual earnings, they look at your tax returns, which you send them. When I didn't have Insurance I paid $25 for 3 months.
