It’s no secret that many of the most commonly-prescribed MS treatments can be expensive, making access to them difficult for some people living with MS. Understanding this, many pharmaceutical companies offer Patient Assistance Programs to help offset costs that may not be covered by insurance.
Patients should be aware that coverages can sometimes change, especially when switching insurance plans or when benefits are adjusted on your current plan. It’s important to always keep updated on any changes that may be coming from your insurance provider to ensure you’re not hit with unexpected costs, or rejections of medications your MS team may prescribe for you.
The National MS Society maintains a list Patient Assistance Programs, with links to each manufacturer. You can find the list by visiting https://tinyurl.com/MS-assistance.
