Unable to afford the $850.00 co pay. Called the reduced cost MRI, can't afford the $500 co pay either!

What do I do?

Cindy2201 I do understand what you are going through, I have had many struggles with being able to afford my medications. I do want to second @Jesmcd2 and suggest that you contact the MSAA.

In addition to that have you tried contacting the drug company about co-pay assistance? I am not sure which drug you are talking about but I have found that me of the MS drug companies and the companies that make the medications we take for symptom management are able to offer assistance.

Cindy2201 Sorry in my original post I erroneously mentioned medications and later saw that you were talking only about MRI's.

My Apologies,

Key

Cindy2201 i have discovered a good ms neurologist can get you just about anything even if you don't have have the money. If his staff isn't helping you get what you need find another better neurologist. Good hinting

Definitely the MSAA... They've helped me in the past when I had no insurance coverage for MRIs!

Not what you're looking for?
