The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America is pleased to present our podcast episode “Understanding Co-Pay Accumulator Programs: What You Need to Know” – a topic that affects access to vital medications for many people, including those living with MS. Hosted by Emily Ottaggio of MSAA, we are joined by two experts in their respective fields who share their insights into how these programs work and the real-world implications for access to medications and care. Our guests are Stephanie Spence, PharmD, CSP; and Barry Hendin, MD, whose discussions we hope will provide a better understanding of these complex programs. Dr. Spence is a Certified Specialty Pharmacist who has worked with both pharmacies and doctors for more than two decades. Dr. Hendin, MSAA’s Chief Medical Officer, is an MS specialist, neurologist, and Director of the Arizona Integrated Neurology MS Center, among other credentials.

This episode was produced and recorded at Gradwell House Recording in Haddon Heights, NJ. Music provided by The New Anxiety (Tim Recuber and John Masino III).
