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?!

the price of copaxone is about $3700 per month - my copay for prescription drugs is 50% so the cost to me is $1850 - I know the price will go up January 1st - it always has - when I started the drug in 2006 the monthly cost was about $1470.  I cant afford the drug - the maximum shared solutions will give for copay assistance is $500 per month (which is alot of money but it still leaves me with a monthly cost of over $1300 - and that's just for copaxone!)

Hi ! I have been on Copaxone for 10 months. I get  it sent to my home every month from a specialty pharmacy through Shared Solutions. Everyone has been very helpful and cooperative :) I am blessed to have a good insurance policy with BC/ BS so I have a copayment of only $35 a month. I truly hope everyone who needs this drug will find an affordable way to get it.

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,
Lulu

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

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.
