You have been prescribed branded AUBAGIO
When you and your healthcare provider decide that AUBAGIO is the right treatment for you, they will submit the MS One to One Start Form. It acts as your prescription for branded AUBAGIO and allows you to enroll in MS One to One Support Services.

MS One to One welcomes you
A few days after the Start Form is submitted, you’ll receive a very important call from MS One to One to confirm your details, go over important branded AUBAGO information, answer questions, and review available financial support.

Your insurance is verified for approval
At this time, MS One to One will verify that your AUBAGIO treatment is approved by your insurance. They can also tell you if you’re eligible for financial assistance to help ensure that cost is never a barrier to taking AUBAGIO.

Your risk may be higher if you already have liver problems or take other medicines that affect your liver. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests to check your liver within 6 months before you start AUBAGIO and monthly for 6 months after starting AUBAGIO. View More
