Referrals for Co-Pay Assistance

Referrals for co-pay assistance

If privately or publicly insured patients have difficulty paying for their Rituxan for RA co-pay, co-insurance, or other expenses, Genentech Rheumatology Access Solutions can refer them to an independent, non-profit organization that supports RA.

Patients who are referred for co-pay assistance need not be enrolled in Genentech Rheumatology Access Solutions and can simply call 1-866-681-3261 for a referral. Co-pay assistance may be available for patients who are privately or publicly insured, including Medicare and Medicaid patients.

Genentech and Biogen Idec do not influence or control the operations of these independent, nonprofit organizations (INOs), but Genentech Rheumatology Access Solutions can assist patients to navigate the process of seeking co-pay assistance by making a referral that is appropriate based on a patient's diagnosis and by assisting with the application process.

We cannot guarantee co-pay assistance once a patient has been referred by Genentech Rheumatology Access Solutions. The INOs to which we refer patients each have their own criteria with regard to patient eligibility, including financial eligibility.
