I'm hoping to go on Tysabri. I'm waiting on the results on the JC virus blood test. I don't have insurance, so wonder who I should contact for help?
Thanks!

Biogen has their won assistance program. But you have to be approved for it before you can apply. Would you like their number? -
Yes, I would, but figure it won't be aallowed.
I will look up the program you told me about. Thanks!

Hi Sara,
BiogenIdec's phone number is: 1(800)456-2255. I know they have significant patient assistance programs, including co-pay assistance for infusion services, for people. I have health insurance, so I don't know how it's covered for people who don't, but Biogen was very helpful with doing financial inquiry with my insurance company when I was getting started 4 months ago.
Another resource that may be of interest to you is the Chronic Disease Fund. They are a patient assistance fund that has resources for people with different, specific, disease processes, including multiple sclerosis. Below is their contact information. They also offer funding for people who are under or uninsured.
Hope it helps, and I hope you're able to start on Ty soon. So far, it's been great for me.
Good luck!
