Financial Assistance Resources for IVIG & SCIG Patients
We are a participating provider with most major insurance carriers and have active contracts with a variety of commercial payors. Our teams are very familiar with navigating insurance coverage and will work to get you the health care you need. However, there are times when additional financial support, outside of insurance coverage, is needed to support your treatment journey.
In these cases, there are a variety of organizations that provide assistance to eligible patients in need of Ig therapy. Depending on your insurance coverage, diagnosis, and financial situation, you may qualify for programs that help reduce out-of-pocket costs associated with IVIG or SCIG treatment.
Financial assistance programs vary in how they provide support. Understanding the different types of assistance available can help you identify resources that may fit best for your journey.
Copay Assistance Programs
For patients with commercial insurance, copay assistance programs may help reduce out-of-pocket costs associated with IVIG therapy. These programs are often sponsored by manufacturers and may help cover expenses such as copays, coinsurance, or deductibles for eligible patients.
Our dedicated insurance specialists and reimbursement teams are available to help you understand your coverage, identify financial assistance programs that may be available to support treatment, and obtain the necessary authorizations.
Foundation Grants and Patient Assistance Funds
In addition to copay assistance programs, nonprofit organizations may offer grants or disease-specific funds that help eligible patients manage treatment-related expenses.
