I read in one of my MS books, can't remember which one, that often, "middle income" patients DO qualify for income assistance from the drug companies because they do a comprehensive needs assessment (ie: don't just look at income but also all expenses including medical). I didn't get the sense that one first needed to burn through their financial assets before being considered for funding, however it didn't explicitly say this.
I'd suggest you contact Avonex directly. There is info about this and a phone number on their website:
