Medication Assistance

MS Medication Payment Assistance Programs PLUS prescription cards for MS and all types of health conditions

Most pharmaceutical companies have assistance programs which help patients obtain their medication at a reduced cost. The drug companies really want you to use their medications, so they have programs set up to navigate insurance coverage, maximize reimbursement, and lower out-of-pocket costs for the patient.

Lastly, let your doctor know that the cost of medication is an important consideration for you. He or she might be able to suggest an equivalent medication, have a staff member help you fill out paperwork to one of the patient assistance programs or know of another solution, such as an open-label clinical trial.
