Copaxone price???

[michelleric]

Shared Solutions called me today for all my info.  She said she will call me early next week to give me the cost. She then said they offer financial assistance. So, I asked "roughly" what does she think will be my cost with my insurance.  She said "typically" with my insurance, my part would be $2500.00-------PER MONTH!!

Does this sound right? That will be a problem, to say the least. Guess I shouldn't worry until I know for sure the cost, but at the moment, doesn't sound too promising for me.

Do other people pay this amount? More? Less? Just curious...

Thanks,

Michelle

Perhaps they could lower the cost if they didn't give out this HUGE fancy book with the DVD and CD's?!

and That's with insurance - under the new health reform act Obama Plan.  I have a 50% copay.  My insurance will cost more come January and so will the copaxone.  I can't afford either and have been without copaxone for quite seometime.  Haven't been able to get any financial assistance through Shared Solutions - I was rejected.

I will have to pay about $3000 for a 3 month supply with my Copaxone in October when my insurance coverage switches.  I opted for a lower level insurance which will actually be cheaper in the long-run.  I will reach out of pocket in October and then after that, everything is paid for in full.  

With my insurance, I have to reach the deductible and then I pay 20% of the drug cost.  Since the drug is $9000 for 3 months and the deductible is $1500, I pay the $1500, then something like $1500 for the drug, so $3000.  

So, it could be that your insurance coverage is something similar?

I just saw your post, so nevermind my question.  I'm happy you only pay $5.00.  That is wonderful!  Best wishes on this medicine.

The retail pharmacy cost for Copaxone is up to $10,700.00.  It went up in Jan.

All of the manufacturers have patient assistance programs.  Please call or have your mom call Shared Solutions and discuss all the options for help to cover this cost.  They make enough money off everyone else, they have surplus to help others.

My insurqance is now being billed $3,700 per month for my copaxone - but of course they don't actually pay that much.  Cobob may have been talking about a 90 day supply at that price, but I may be wrong.

good luck,
