the cost

How much does the beta cost without insurance?

Last time I looked it was about $45,000 a year. The manufacturer has assistance plans tho so I don't know how many people without insurance actually pay that.

IT's important to know why you're asking. Are you losing/changing your insurance? Do you not have any?

There is no reason to go without meds - there are ways of getting them, usually from the company that makes them. Biogen sent me Avonex free for a year while I had no coverage. There are also programs that pay for meds.

So don't trouble yourself with the cost of the meds if you don't need to. Consider it costs very little to produce the meds now (the big money was spent on research). If they have you as a customer, there's a good chance you'll have insurance of some sort, even government insurance in the future, so you're a good investment they will make back in the very first month you have insurance.

Thank U dears.
Because of the embargoes, the import of some special meds are forbidden to our countary. Beside, our insurance don't cover the cost of these kinds of meds.
I asked because I wanted to buy beta for myself, but it costs too much!!
