Default MS Lifelines

I got a call from MS Lifelines asking my home income and was told thta they would be sending me an application for their $50 copay assistance.

I have ben on Rebif for?????? (no clue) and paying the $50 so I asked why.

They told me its the 1 year renewal and now I have to apply to see if i qualify. ????????????????

Then they said that they waived the application when I first started.

Im confused!!!! Anyone know how much you can or cant have income wise?
Why would they waive the application when you start? What if I dont qualify? Its like $500/a month

Anyone else deal with this????

Thanks!!!

I havent been on Copaxone a year yet, but my copay went up about $5 several months back. (from $30 - $35) I dont know what's going to happen to that when I get to my 1yr anniversary of stabbing myself with dull needles.

I'm sure the cost will go up. I think it was my 6 month anniversary when they bumped the cost up $5.

I'm hoping to get a Rx for LDN, since LDN is a lot cheaper than the C. (I would hope the LDN would work for me too.)

Uh-oh! The info on the web site of theirs is very vague. Don't let them mess with you. If they end up wanting you to pay more...talk to you Dr. about switching to another drug that offers $$$ assistance.

Rebif/MS Lifelines just started a new program for assistance. I have some literature about it from our Programs Office. It's brand new and supposed to be a lot better than the old program. It is just getting started. You should have gotten a brochure in the mail about it.
