Exclamation Having trouble getting approved for low cost Tecfidera?

Don't give up!! I just went through this very problem and came here to offer my experience. Call MSActivesource at 1-800-456-2255 and ask for the FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE department. I have been trying to get this med since about April 4th. Have been passed through so many different companies and 2 pharmacies. I even STARTED at MSActivesource but didn't ask specifically for the financial assistance department.


One company told me my copay would be $2300. I have Medicare only. I said that's twice what I make in a month on SSDI. The lady on the phone tried to give MSAS's phone number - I said I have it memorized. She asked if I'd ever asked for the financial assistance department. Thirteen years ago, that was all they did so I didn't think I had to ask. After talking to them, I had an answer in minutes! I'll be getting the med for free.


Good luck!
