Any suggestions for insurance or help with Tysibra. I start later this month and have no idea what insurance will even cover this.

Contact your doctor. There are many programs that will help or even pay for it. Your doctor should hook you up with the pharmacy department. They can even put you in for a clinical study

FYI Biogen offers a complomentary tysabri dose for people who are awaiting prior authorization completion. They dont advertise it widely but finally after speaking for weeks with people from Touch and AboveMS one the associates told me. If you speak to Biogen ask for it and/or let your infusion center know. You will need to notify Biogen 5 days prior to infusion appointment for them to certify it. Something that took me forever to find out from them hence the reason Im telling you directly to ask for it if need be.
