About This Medication

# Aubagio Patient Guide: How to Get Aubagio (teriflunomide) at Low or No Cost Aubagio (teriflunomide) is a prescription medication used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults. Sanofi's **Aubagio One to One** support program offers copay assistance, free medication through the One Start program for eligible patients, and nurse support to help reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs.[2][7][9] ## About Aubagio and Why Assistance Matters **Aubagio (teriflunomide)** is an oral disease-modifying therapy (DMT) that helps reduce MS relapses by suppressing parts of the immune system that attack the nervous system. It's taken as a daily tablet, typically 7 mg or 14 mg. Common side effects include hair thinning, diarrhea, nausea, and liver issues—your doctor will monitor these with regular blood tests. Without insurance or assistance, Aubagio can cost thousands per month, making programs like One to One essential for affordability.[2][5] The **One to One Support Services** from Sanofi Genzyme provides: - **Copay assistance** to lower costs for commercially insured patients. - **One Start®** free medication shipments (up to one year) while waiting for insurance coverage. - **Nurse educators** for injection training (though Aubagio is oral), adherence tips, and side effect management. - Benefits verification and prior authorization help.[2][7] Note: Brand Aubagio support is limited; generic teriflunomide has copay cards from Teva and Glenmark for commercially insured patients (as low as $0, with caps).[1][6] ## Who Qualifies? Eligibility focuses on insurance status rather than strict income limits: - **Commercially insured** patients (private insurance, not government programs). - U.S. residents with a valid prescription for Aubagio. - **One Start®** for newly starting patients not yet covered by commercial insurance (free supply up to 1 year).[2] **Not eligible**: Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare, or other federal/state-funded patients. Cash-pay or uninsured may explore generics or other aid.[1][2][5] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Aubagio One to One does not publish Federal Poverty Level (FPL) thresholds; it's primarily insurance-based. However, for context, general patient assistance often uses 400-500% FPL. Here's a sample table for common MS programs (adapt for your situation): | Household Size | 400% FPL (2026 est.) | 500% FPL (2026 est.) | |----------------|----------------------|----------------------| | Individual | $60,240 | $75,300 | | Couple | $81,760 | $102,200 | | Family of 3 | $103,280 | $129,100 | | Family of 4 | $124,800 | $156,000 | *Estimates based on 2025 FPL adjustments; check HHS.gov for exact. Aubagio prioritizes insurance over income.*[5] ## Insurance Requirements - **Required**: Valid commercial (private) insurance covering Aubagio. - **Not for**: Medicare Part D, Medicaid, or government programs—use Extra Help or state programs instead.[1][2][5] - Present insurance card at pharmacy for copay card use. - Program verifies benefits; may help with prior authorizations.[2][9] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Talk to your doctor**: Discuss Aubagio and request the **Aubagio One to One Start Form**.[2] 2. **Visit Aubagio.com or call 1-855-676-6326**: Enroll in One to One services.
