Question for those of you who take Copaxine (or any other med), how much do you pay? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

And if you have insurance, does it cover the cost of most of it? I am thinking about starting on Copaxine soon, I haven't enquired just yet with my insurance to see if they will cover most of it or not. We have Healthnet. I'm hoping it won't be too costly.

Thanks for answering! I was beginning to think that no one was going to reply.

Wow, $900 a month? Yikes, that is steep! I'm guessing Copaxine is probably about the same amount then. I hope the most I have to pay is $30.

Copaxone is over $1000, I pay my copay of $25.00.

I have a copay of 15% + $15 so I usually end up paying about $160-$170 dollars a month. Thankfully we have a maximum of $1000 out of pocket per year, so after about 7 months I have 5 months free. It has worked wonders for me I have been on it for about 18 months and I have not had an exacerbation! Good Luck!
