Finding help paying for Copaxone with no income can feel overwhelming, but there are real options available. Since Medicaid isn't covering the cost, here are some avenues worth exploring:
Go directly to the manufacturer first:
- Visit the Copaxone manufacturer's website and look for sections like "financial support," "copay assistance," or "savings card"
- Call them directly — one MyMSTeam member shared that by contacting their drug manufacturer, they received $9,000 a year toward their copay
Nonprofit organizations that may help:
- The Assistance Fund
- HealthWell Foundation
- Patient Advocate Foundation
- Good Days
- NeedyMeds (free service connecting people to prescription assistance programs) Additional resources to explore:
- The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America maintains a database of prescription assistance programs specifically for MS medications
- BenefitsCheckUp (free service from the National Council on Aging) can help identify programs based on your situation
- A social worker can also help identify resources you may qualify for based on your income level
Since manufacturer copay programs are typically designed for people with commercial insurance, nonprofit organizations may be the strongest path forward given the Medicaid situation. Don't give up — help is out there!
