If your insurance denies Cortrophin Gel coverage, you have options. While frustrating, insurance companies sometimes require trying older medications first before approving newer treatments (called step therapy). However, this shouldn't stop you from getting the treatment you need.

Here are recommended steps to take:
• Work with your neurologist to file an appeal
• Ask about patient assistance programs from ANI Pharmaceuticals
• Look into copay assistance cards when available
• Document why alternative treatments aren't appropriate for your situation One MyMSTeam member's experience shows that persistence can pay off - their neurologist successfully appealed the denial and got the treatment covered. While waiting for approval, discuss with your healthcare team about temporary treatment options to manage any active symptoms.
