OK...so I have a long story, so I'll try to keep it short. My husband was diagnosed with MS in March. We are both medical professionals (I'm a RN with a specialty in Neuro ICU...irony at it's finest, I know), and have great health insurance. He was prescribed Avonex IM and after insurance our cost is still $1249 per month He applied for and received assistance through the drug company. Problem is that he only got $8400 and has only enough for one more month. They will not renew the funding for him until March of 2013.
So, obviously, we can't afford $1249 a month for his meds. Do any of you have any advice, suggestions, or know of any other assistanct out there? I'm so worried that if he doesn't take anything at all he will have a relapse. He only has 3 lesions, but they are doozies. And, I'd really like to keep it that way HELP.....
Thank you all so much.
