Co-Pay Plus Terms & Conditions

Offer valid only when used with commercial health insurance. Offer is not available where:
  • the patient has federal or state health plan benefits (eg, Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA);
  • the health plan reimburses for the entire cost of the drug;
  • the health plan provides no coverage for the drug; or
  • prohibited by law.
The amount of funding available from the Program is subject to an annual limit. Novartis reserves the right to discontinue the availability of co-pay assistance if, at any time, Novartis determines that the patient is subject to a co-pay maximizer program. Co-pay maximizers are programs implemented by health plans in which the amount of the patient’s out-of-pocket cost is increased to reflect the availability of support offered by a manufacturer assistance program. The patient is responsible for all costs once available funding from the Program is exhausted.
The Program is designed exclusively for the benefit of the patient. The amount of available funding may be reduced or eliminated if it is not credited by the patient’s health plan toward the patient’s out-of-pocket obligations (eg, deductibles, annual out-of-pocket maximums). Program funding may also be reduced or eliminated if the patient’s health plan, directly or indirectly, adjusts, reduces, or waives the patient’s health plan benefits based on the availability of, or the patient’s enrollment in, the Program, or otherwise acts in a manner that materially affects these Terms and Conditions.
Only the patient or their legal guardian or caregiver may enroll the patient in the Program. Health plans, specialty pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, and their agents and representatives (individually and collectively “Plan Administrators”), are prohibited from enrolling patients in the Program.
Patients in the Program are responsible for notifying Novartis of any change in their prescription drug health plan coverage that may conflict or otherwise affect compliance with these Terms and Conditions. By accepting Program funding from Novartis on behalf of participating patients, Plan Administrators agree to not take any action that materially affects compliance with these Terms and Conditions.
Patients may not seek reimbursement for the value received from the Program from any other party (eg, health plans, flexible spending or healthcare savings accounts). Patients are responsible for complying with any applicable limitations and requirements of their health plan related to their use of the Program.
Valid only in the United States and Puerto Rico. Co-pay support for infusion administration cost not available in Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
The Program is not health insurance, and may not be combined with any third-party rebate, coupon, or offer. Novartis reserves the right to rescind, revoke, or amend the Program at any time without notice.
The Bridge Program applies to COSENTYX Subcutaneous Injection only. Eligible patients must have private insurance and a valid prescription for COSENTYX, and a prior authorization, predetermination, or medical exception that has been denied. Program requires the submission of an appeal of the coverage denial within the first 90 days of enrollment to remain eligible. Program provides COSENTYX for free to eligible patients for up to 2 years, or until they receive insurance coverage approval, whichever occurs earlier. A valid prescription consistent with FDA-approved labeling is required. Program is not available to patients whose medications are reimbursed in whole or in part by Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or any other federal or state program. Patients may be asked to reverify insurance coverage status during the course of the program. No purchase necessary. Program is not health insurance, nor is participation a guarantee of insurance coverage. Additional Limitations may apply. Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation reserves the right to rescind, revoke, or amend this Program without notice.

What is the most important information I should know about COSENTYX?

COSENTYX is a medicine that affects your immune system. COSENTYX may increase your risk of having serious side effects such as:

Infections

COSENTYX may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections. Some people have had serious infections while taking COSENTYX, including tuberculosis (TB), and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Some people have died from these infections.

  • Your doctor should check you for TB before starting treatment with COSENTYX.
  • If your doctor feels that you are at risk for TB, you may be treated with medicine for TB before you begin treatment with COSENTYX and during treatment with COSENTYX.
  • Your doctor should watch you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with COSENTYX. Do not use COSENTYX if you have an active TB infection.

Before starting COSENTYX, tell your doctor if you:

  • are being treated for an infection
  • have an infection that does not go away or that keeps coming back
  • have TB or have been in close contact with someone with TB
  • think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection such as: fevers, sweats, or chills; muscle aches; cough; shortness of breath; blood in your phlegm; weight loss; warm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body; diarrhea or stomach pain; burning when you urinate or urinate more often than normal

After starting COSENTYX, call your doctor right away if you have any signs of infection listed above. Do not use COSENTYX if you have any signs of infection unless you are instructed to by your doctor.

New cases of inflammatory bowel disease or “flare-ups” can happen with COSENTYX, and can sometimes be serious. If you have inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease), tell your doctor if you have worsening disease symptoms during treatment with COSENTYX or develop new symptoms of stomach pain or diarrhea.

Severe skin reactions that look like eczema can happen during treatment with COSENTYX from days to months after your first dose and can sometimes lead to hospitalization. Your doctor may temporarily stop treatment with COSENTYX if you develop severe skin reactions. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following signs or symptoms: redness or rash; itching; small bumps or patches; your skin is dry or feels like leather; blisters on the hands or feet that ooze or become crusty or skin peeling.

These are not all of the possible side effects of COSENTYX. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

Before using COSENTYX, tell your doctor if you:

  • have any of the conditions or symptoms listed above for infections.
  • have inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis).
  • are allergic to latex. The needle cap on the COSENTYX Sensoready® pen, and 150 mg/mL and 75 mg/0.5 mL prefilled syringes contains latex.
  • have recently received or are scheduled to receive an immunization (vaccine). People who take COSENTYX should not receive live vaccines. Children should be brought up to date with all vaccines before starting COSENTYX.
  • have any other medical conditions and all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Keep a list of your medicines to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if COSENTYX can harm your unborn baby. You and your doctor should decide if you will use COSENTYX.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if COSENTYX passes into your breast milk.
