Hi. I get free meds from schering-plough but i think the income level is similar with roche. In the state of florida the ceiling is $68,000. it varies state to state taking into account cost of living, etc...
I have links to free rescue drugs, discounted quest diagnostics labs, etc. if you need them let me know. best of luck.  tracy

I know that the cutoff is about 3o something thousand, and that I was initially turned down by roche and scherring-plough (sp?),
but, on a whim, I called roche to ask why I'd been turned down, gave them my sob story (one income--though it was about 48,000-- a child to support, no help from insurance co, and they asked if I'd like to be put in for "special consideration" (DUH!!!) Isaid yes, they covered it all, but had I not responded to their initial refusal, I'd never have known!! This is not meant to sound ungrateful, I most certainly am, but I don't think they advertise this option.

Just call them and ask, it varies depending on your area and how many in your household I think.
