Understanding your insurance

The cost of NUCALA varies depending on your individual insurance plan. That’s why understanding your insurance is important. If a medicine is covered by an insurance plan, the insurance will generally pay part of the cost, and you pay the remainder out-of-pocket cost—your copay. Our Gateway to NUCALA program is here to help you understand your insurance company’s policies for covering NUCALA and estimate what your out-of-pocket cost may be. Information provided by Gateway to NUCALA is not a guarantee of coverage.

NOTE: If you are uninsured and meet certain eligibility requirements, you may qualify for the Patient Assistance Program, which offers free medicine to eligible patients. Patients with Medicare Part D or other insurance may also qualify under certain circumstances.

Using a specialty pharmacy

Specialty pharmacies are different than traditional pharmacies because they focus on certain diseases that require more specialized medications, like NUCALA. If you take NUCALA at home, a specialty pharmacy will be used to ship your medicine directly to your home. If you receive NUCALA in your doctor’s office, your doctor may or may not use a specialty pharmacy.

To fill your prescription, your specialty pharmacy will work through the approval process directly with your insurance company. During this process, your specialty pharmacy will need to call you to discuss important information and collect your copay. If you don't return calls from the specialty pharmacy, this will delay your prescription. Sometimes a specialty pharmacy may call from an unknown number, so check your voicemail for messages that refer to a “prescription” and be sure to call them back. Once you’ve paid your copay, NUCALA will be shipped directly to you if you use NUCALA at home, or it will be shipped directly to your doctor if you receive NUCALA in your doctor’s office.

In some cases your doctor may make arrangements for you to receive NUCALA from your doctor’s office without using a specialty pharmacy. In those instances, you may need to pay your copay to the doctor rather than paying the specialty pharmacy. Be sure to ask your doctor what to expect.
