Copaxone® Patient Assistance Program
The patient must be uninsured or underinsured and meet income guidelines that are not disclosed. Medical diagnosis necessary for this program is not specified. The patient must also be a US resident or legal alien. There are two programs: one for people with no insurance or who are underinsured (which is run by NORD, the National Organizations for Rare Disorders) and one for people who need assistance with the co-payments through a chronic disease fund. This program is dependent on funding. If there is no funding available, then the patient is put on a list and contacted once funding is available to assist.

***Also note that Shared Solutions has recently implemented a copay program similar to the one below offered for Rebif.  However, it is not posted anywhere on the Copaxone website.  Shame on you Teva and Shared Solutions.

Off the top of my head, I believe that they will pay up to $50 for anyone’s monthly copay regardless of financial status.

Rebif Assistance Program
Through MS Lifelines® Access Made Simple, you may be eligible to get Rebif at no cost, or for no more than $50 per month, for up to 1 year of treatment.  If you are currently uninsured, are insured with no drug benefit, or have exhausted your drug coverage and you meet the other eligibility requirements for this program, you will receive Rebif at no cost. If you have a high co-pay (over $50), you may be eligible to receive Rebif for up to 1 year for no more than $50 a month.

Regardless of financial status, the MS LifeLines Access Made Simple program is open to US resident with a relapsing form of MS, and who have been newly prescribed Rebif therapy or are restarting therapy after having previously discontinued Rebif for at least 90 days.  Some limitations are required by law. People residing in certain states, as well as those covered by federal and state programs, may not be eligible for assistance.
