MS Insurance Information

People with multiple sclerosis may sometimes have health insurance issues. Whether you are just starting MS therapy, or thinking of switching to a new therapy, knowing your rights can help you prepare for any loss or changes in coverage. You should also know that manufacturers of MS treatments, like Biogen Idec, provide assistance with insurance verification.

Biogen Idec can help verify your MS therapy insurance coverage. We can also help you find the coverage that's right for you, whether you need to lower your insurance costs, increase your current coverage, or get new coverage.

Biogen Idec provides insurance services such as:

  • Researching your insurance coverage
  • Working with your insurance company to coordinate coverage
  • Assisting with insurance prior-authorization requirements and claims tracking
  • Assisting you with denied claims
  • Providing options for additional insurance coverage

As part of Biogen Idec's comprehensive support to its MS patients, personalized help identifying the best financial assistance solution is available to any patient. Our goal is to ensure that no patient is denied treatment based solely on financial limitations.

To that end, we provide a variety of financial assistance programs for new and existing patients. Programs are tailored to meet the needs of a range of patient situations. Specifically, we have programs for uninsured patients, privately insured patients, and patients insured through public payers, such as Medicare.
