Re: concerta prescription assistance

[Guest guest]

Lori, we have applied for and gotten approval for Vyvance from Shire

patient assistance. We ended up doing all the paperwork and filling

out forms (found on internet site)and then sending all to doctor for

their part.

Shire issued one card for a month's worth of meds and keeps putting

off sending the card good for a year. I just called to ask AGAIN about

it this morning. So I would try and get a number and just keep bugging

the pharmaceutical if you can...it takes a least a month. But we also

found that Shire was missing some info they needed to make approval,

but never told me until I contacted them.

Good luck, ours was very expensive too, plus we have to pay cash for

doctor visits since he does not have insurance that covers those.

Couldn't GET insurance for him...ADD is a " pre-existing " condition so

all insurance companies said " no " they would not cover it when he left

job and went back to school. So we didn't get insurance!

Concerta? My son's Dr had him apply for the program over a month ago

and we have not heard back yet. Just wondering if anyone uses this

program. I bought the script last month and it was $168, so hoping

this will come through.
