I must admit that the more I work with Biogen the better I like them. When I originally started I mistakenly listed my insurance as Medicare but after thinking about it though I have United healthcare Medicare advantage A and B my drug plan was thru my old employer. So I called their financial assistance plan explained what happened and they verified that I was not on Medicare drug plan and qualified for $0 copay for my Pelegridy. She even told I was fortunate to have insurance because the month cost was $5000 per month which nobody without insurance could pay anyhow. But regardless now instead of $37.50 per month it's now $0 which to someone on as disability that will be a big help. It sucks that any govt sponsored plan is not allowed to qualify. To me they need it worse that people on private plans but that's just me.

$0 copay
Biogen will sometimes provide the drug for free if a person qualifies, rumor says. I don't know about the others, but Shared Solutions is paying my insurance deductible.
Biogen starts mine on my next shipment of Pelegridy. $0 copay sure sounds good just wish I'd done it earlier. And it's pretty easy to qualify as long as you're not a Medicare receipent.
Shared Solutions paid mine when I was on Copaxone. Biogen now provides my Tecfidera for free as well. I am a Medicare recipient with a Part D plan.

You're a very lucky person. I was on the phone with Them for 45 mins while they verified I wasn't a Medicare recepient because I had Medicare A and B and not D. I had to pay $37.50 copay for my first to shipments because I was on Medicare they said. I just love insurance people. Haha. I shouldn't say anything because my wife does customer service health benefits for an insurance company. I'm just happy I don't have to pay anymore.
I was blessed to receive rebif free for 8 years while uninsured. Now I have insurance and serono helps until my deductible is met. They are an amazing company.
That is wonderful news.
