It took me a few weeks for the Doctor to get me set up on Copaxone. Then another week to get there and a few days for the Nurse.
I assume you do not need copay assistance because that takes sometimes months.

My insurance doesn't cover my Copaxone but as soon as the patient assistance program approved me, Shared Solutions set up a nurse visit and had the pharmacy contact me to set up delivery. I'd say it only took about a week for those two things to happen.
Good luck!!
I have Aetna ins it took about 3wks and shared solutions are covering my co-pay up to $50 a mth. Be sure to call them and ask about shared co-pay
Usually, when the pharmacy gets the prescription from your doctor, they also get your insurance info. Then the pharm contacts the ins company for the pre-approval. But just in case, you need to call your insurance co for clarification of the process.
Jess, just keep in mind that the copaxone won't instantly make you feel better. This is a gradual fix- and often takes 6 months or so to achieve.
Good luck with this next step being fast and efficient.
