Otezla SupportPlus Offers Comprehensive Patient Assistance

The information below, provided by Celgene, highlights assistance options for patients who have been prescribed Otezla.

Celgene is a global biopharmaceutical company committed to improving the lives of patients worldwide, seeking to deliver innovative and life-changing treatments. As part of this commitment, the company aims to provide patients who are prescribed Otezla a positive product experience through specialty pharmacy partnerships, 501(c)(3) foundation support, educational materials, and Otezla SupportPlus, a comprehensive patient assistance program.

Otezla SupportPlus was designed to serve as a safety net for patients who experience product access challenges. Reimbursement advocates are available Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 8 pm EST by calling 844-4OTEZLA (844-468-3952). These advocates will help patients gain access to Otezla by assisting with the following: benefits counseling, appeal support after coverage denial, and, most importantly, to confirm coverage and direct the Otezla prescription to the appropriate contracted specialty pharmacy. The Otezla network of contracted specialty pharmacies provides patients and healthcare providers with prior authorization support and ongoing treatment expertise. Celgene has partnered with approximately 40 specialty pharmacies to ensure that patients have access to a wide network of specialty pharmacy options.

Otezla SupportPlus also coordinates financial support for patients who encounter high out-of-pocket costs for their Otezla prescription. The Otezla Savings Program was developed for commercially insured patients and, if eligible, the patient’s copay contribution may be reduced to $0. In addition, eligible Medicare patients can obtain financial assistance through the Patient Access Network Foundation, which offers an annual grant of $3800. Patients who do not have prescription coverage or who are deemed underinsured may be eligible to receive Otezla free of charge. Otezla SupportPlus will refer and/or assist a patient through the enrollment process for each financial assistance option, depending on the patient’s unique situation.

Otezla SupportPlus has additional resources available for patients and healthcare providers, including 24-hour nurse support as well as educational and adherence programs. Contact Otezla SupportPlus at 844-4OTEZLA (844-468-3952) or visit www.otezla.com to learn more.
