Epi Help- News From Mylan
****!!!UPDATE!!!****
Mylan is offering FREE Epis for schools!
Go to http://www.epipen4schools.com/
Print out the form, have your school fill out the form, take the form to your allergist (you may want to call to find out if your allergist will write a prescription first), fax the form and prescription to the address on the form. Just follow the directions on the form.
Did you know that in many cases, you may be able to save money by getting your Epi Pens though the mail? In an example given by the Mylan representative at the FAAN conference this year, a family who usually pays $40 for two Epis at a pharmacy might be able to get 6 Epis for $15! Please contact your insurance company to find out if this applies to you.
Also, did you know that schools might be able to get a %50 discount, possibly larger, with bulk pricing?
If you are having trouble paying for your Epis, you may also contact your pharmacist to find out if there is a community grant available. Many times civic organizations, or religious organizations donate funding for those who are in need of financial aid.
