Hi Amy. Not sure I can be of much help. If you need need help paying for prrescriptions all the major MS drugs have financial assistance programs. Was'nt sure what HP was.

Health insurance is a big headache. Obama's plan included eliminating pre-existing conditions. Don't know when that is supposed to take effect.

One idea I have is to call the insurance commision in your state and ask for thier recommendation or resources.

Sometimes states have their own insurance for people in your situation. It's called a High Risk Pool. Ask about that.

Do you qualify for Medicare or Medicaid?

Good Luck

Melanie

I do not know how well your coverage is, but $289 is very cheap.

I'd say contact MS Society and see if they have any recommendations.

Hi Amy,

I'm not sure what HP is and I think it's your insurance carrier and remember the cheaper the insurance the higher your copays and $289 is cheap, just remember insurance companies don't make money off sick people. What p's me off when I was working I had to pay for medicare ins. and now that I'm on SSDI I still have to pay for insurance out of my disability check. Most states have a high risk poll insurance but I've read that people are paying $500 + a month. While I had no insurance almost all my meds were through the Patient asisstance programs and some will help if your under insured and can't afford them
