How to Pay $0 for Your Biologic Medication
Step-by-step guide to manufacturer copay programs, patient assistance, and every available savings option
Key Takeaways
- Most commercially insured patients pay $0–$35/month for biologics
- Uninsured patients may receive biologics completely free through PAP programs
- BiologicHealthPlus enrolls you in all available savings programs at no charge
- Medicare patients can use Extra Help / LIS to reduce costs significantly
Step 1: Know What You Have
Your biologic cost depends on your insurance status. There are three scenarios:
- Commercially insured (employer or marketplace plan) → Manufacturer copay card
- Uninsured or underinsured → Patient Assistance Program (free medication)
- Medicare or Medicaid → Plan-specific coverage + Extra Help / LIS
Step 2: Enroll in the Manufacturer Copay Program
Every major biologic manufacturer runs a savings program for commercially insured patients. These programs reduce your copay to as little as $0/month. BiologicHealthPlus enrolls you automatically — you don't need to apply separately.
| Medication | Program Name | Insured Cost | Uninsured / PAP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Humira | myAbbVie Assist | $0–$35/mo | Free |
| Skyrizi | Skyrizi Complete | $0/mo | Free |
| Rinvoq | myAbbVie Assist | $0–$10/mo | Free |
| Dupixent | Dupixent MyWay | $0–$35/mo | Free |
| Stelara | Janssen CarePath | $0–$5/mo | Free |
| Cosentyx | Cosentyx CARE | $0–$35/mo | Free |
| Entyvio | Takeda Together | $0–$35/mo | Free |
| Tremfya | Janssen CarePath | $0–$5/mo | Free |
Step 3: If You're Uninsured — Apply for PAP
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) provide free biologic medication to patients who are uninsured or who meet income guidelines. Most programs have no strict income cutoff — eligibility is evaluated case by case. BiologicHealthPlus files every PAP application on your behalf at no charge.
Step 4: Explore Foundation Grants
If you still have out-of-pocket costs after copay cards and PAP, nonprofit foundations can help. Organizations like the HealthWell Foundation, Patient Advocate Foundation, and the PAN Foundation offer grants to help patients cover copays, premiums, and other costs.
