Hello All— I wanted to see if anyone has any experince with the patient assistance program? I plan to start calling around this week but just thought I would ask here first.

My doctors office went through the lengthy pre approval process to get Entyvio approved through insurance, just for us to find out my partner will be laid off. My doctor is hesitant to begin entyvio until we have stable insurance again.

I used the Entyvio patient assistance program, but I had health insurance and used the co-pay assistance.
It seems more tricky if you don't have stable insurance but they say there are options. It's probably worth calling EntyvioConnect (see below).

To use the co-pay assistance, I used to have to send (mail or fax) in a copy of my EOB and the Claims request form to the entvyio patient assistance program, but then I learned I can list the patient assistance program as my secondary insurance, and the infusion provider billed them after my primary insurance so I didn't have to do anything to receive the benefits.

Copied from the entyvioconnect website: https://www.entyvio.com/copay-support

Have Commercial Insurance?
We'll work with you to see if you're eligible for our co-pay program. If you qualify, you may pay as little as $5 per dose every 8 weeks.*

Have Government Insurance?
If you receive Medicare, Medicaid or TRICARE, we can explain your benefits and may help you find financial assistance.

No Insurance?
We'll help you find financial assistance options.

If you don't have insurance or you have government insurance, you still have options. Call us at 1-844-ENTYVIO (1-844-368-9846).

I have found that a lot of the expensive drug manufacturers have a secondary “free” program. They don’t highly advertise it, so your best bet is to call and ask what your no insurance options are. I’m enrolled in one from Amgen for my migraine injections since I’m not qualified for their copay plan because I’m on Medicare. I have to re-apply each year by filling out a form, the dr sends in the prescription, they check my insurance. Then they mail me my medication every 3 months.
