Copaxone assistance

[nicapril84]

I was recently diagnose with MS and given a mathod for treatment of Copaxone. I was let go from my job the same day. Naturally for other reasons, they said. Anyway I was not offered coba to keep my insurance and now they will not cover it even if I take up their personal policy instaed of the company policy. Is there any where out there that will assist in the payments for treatment?

you have to be offered COBRA is you were covered while you were an employee.  I would ask the HR department one last time and if the answer is still the same IMMEDIATELY contact your local MS chapter and ask for their assistance.  They have specialists to help with these types of problems.

There is a patient co-pay assistance program with Shared Solutions - be sure to talk to them about getting your drug covered.  I don't know exactly how it works for people who do not have regular insurance but supposedly they have deeply the Rare Disease foundation to help in cases such as yours.

good luck and let us know what you find out, ok?
