Good Morning!

Those that are on Ocruvis, have you ran into a large copay? How did you take care of the copay? I cannot pay $3000.00+.

I have applied for financial help. I have received help in the past. I pray the funds are still available.

Talk to Ocrevus call center. They will do their best to help you find financial help.

My insurance policy with BCBS (I'm in the U.S.) has zero co-pay after my deductible has been met, and since I've had so much medical stuff going on the past two years I'd met it by February. I was approved for Ocrevus within 24 hrs. and didn't have to pay anything at all. Genentech's payment assistance programs should take care of most of the copay for you, but if for some reason it doesn't sometimes your doctor can get the company to give it to them at no cost, particularly if part of a major medical center. Best of luck!

Thanks to everyone's for your advise! I received a phone call this afternoon from Genentech. I was approved for financial assistance with a $0.00. co pay. Thank you Jesus for watching out for me again!

I am so happy for you I am starting that process as of yesterday I got the call they wanted to make sure they had the right info. I asked them how much it cost what a number $6500.00. Oh my!!!!

[SlmHarris in reply to ssdw1958]

Yes I was shocked! I completely understand what you were saying but you left a 0 out. $65,000.00 that more than what some ppl pay for a house...

My thought on the price of the medications!

Why are they so expensive? The companies know it not affordable.

I am wishing you the best!

So glad to hear!!! The stress of the unbelievable costs sure doesn't help MS. Keep the faith. God Bless

[SlmHarris]

Amen! To you too!
