The Reimbursement research dept will first try to find a monetary

state medical care funding. If you have insurance and are having a
hard time getting the insurance to cover your Interferon, these
people will help you "battle" the insurance company. They will be
happy to answer any questions you might have about getting your
insurance to cover the cost of your medication.
After exhausting every other possible resource for payment,
discounted drug might be available for some people. Certain
criteria must be met and every case is handled differently, based
upon the applicants assets and income.
Patient Admittance to NIH Studies
Physicians can recommend patients to participate in clinical
research programs conducted by the National Institutes of Health.
Patients are admitted to a program if their case fits into an
ongoing research project. The patient then receives free medical
care. To recommend a patient, physicians can call the Warren Grant
Magnuson Clinical Center's Patient Referral Services Unit at
301-496-4891. Physicians can also obtain further information about
these programs by writing to the Director of the Clinical Center,
Building 10, Room 1N212, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda,
MD 20205.
