It's pretty easy. Just one form to fill out, then you submit proof of what your income is like, then your doc completes a form and sends all of it in together, then they evaluate you and tell you what assistance they can give.
Sara - I get my Gilenya for free because my ins has a $ 2,000/yr. prescrip cap.
My insurance did pay for the pre-screening appts., but I know that Gilenya will pay towards the appts. I think when I applied, the max they would pay towards them was $ 600.00. I think my appts. cost more than that, but you will have to look into it and see if your doctors can work with you on costs. I had an EKG, PFT, special eye exam and skin screening.
I got the tests via insurance (by the time I did them, my insurance covered it because I had paid my deductible for the year), so Novartis didn't assist me for that. Hopefully they'll cover yours!
I got the EKG & blood work done yesterday. I still haven't signed any paperwork for assistance yet. I'm suppose to have the eye exam on Fri. The lady told me that the min. is $200. + tests. I sure would like to not pay for that!
Sara,
there are other programs out there that can assist you in getting the assistance you need. If you go to needymeds.org or MSAA.com The national multiple sclerosis Society can also help.
If you talk to the Go Program let them know you don't have insurance they may can give you other links that can help you with assistance also.
