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.

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.

Ouch...I am getting $150 copay for my monthly drag, and its already too much

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...

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.
