I recently changed insurance companies and there was a SUBSTANTIAL increase in copay(25$ to 866). I really can't see this being just because I switched insurances. Has there been a price increase or is this something to do with the new health care laws??

I would definitely think that could be due to switching insurances, unfortunately, though those other factors could definitely play a role too.2001: 1st 2 relapses, "probable MS." 2007: 3rd relapse.

It's definitely linked to your insurance company...and the price has definitely risen!
When I started Beta in 1997 it was $800 a month (we had to pay and the insurance reimbursed us)..It now cost $3995 a month..outrageous! what happened to supply and demand in this case?

I would also recommend the financial assistant program. My co-pay is only $60 but I pay nothing for my medicine.Dx RR August 2013
