    Generic Ampyra

    Accorda (Ampyra company) says stopping assistance program because it is coming out as generic in 2018. BUT Nobody can tell me when that will be & price! Anybody know anything? Looks like I will just have to quit...

    It's stressful, I know

    All I am told is "call after the first of the year." Even if the "generic" is only half the price, it's still too expensive for me, and not covered at a useful tier of Plan D. I guess I best start saving for a wheelchair. But, I will "call after the first of the year." Good luck, Skeptic.

        I'm on Kaiser Medicare Advantage Plus and just got quoted a copay of $400 for a thirty day supply. Kaiser has an assistance program if you qualify with total gross household income at 350% of the poverty level.

            Ampyra cost

            I started taking 4-aminopyridine (4-ap) when my insurance denied coverage for Ampyra. It's the main ingredient in Ampyra. I pay around $40 a month from Skip's pharmacy in Florida. It works for me.

              Ampyra cost

              When my insurance denied coverage for me, I switched to 4-aminopyridine, the main ingredient in Ampyra. I get it from Skip's pharmacy in Florida for about $40 a month. It works for me, but I'm no longer walking.
