What to try first, depending on your insurance

Help for Multiple Sclerosis depends mostly on how you're covered. Pick the one that sounds like you. We'll name the funds and programs that fit, and what won't work, so you don't waste a phone call.

Before you pick up the phone

Most of these programs start with one call, and having these ready makes it shorter. Tick them off as you go. Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere.

Call the drugmaker's support line first. Its case managers check your benefits and often fill out forms with your doctor. If a charity fund is closed, sign up on the foundation's page to hear when it reopens. Most programs need renewing every year, and many copay cards reset in January.
