About This Medication

# Amgen SupportPlus Co-Pay Program Patient Guide: How to Get AVSOLA at Low or No Cost ## About AVSOLA (infliximab-axxq) AVSOLA is a medication used to treat several autoimmune conditions by targeting specific proteins in the immune system that contribute to inflammation[1]. It is prescribed for moderate to severe Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and chronic severe plaque psoriasis[1]. AVSOLA is administered as an intravenous infusion in a healthcare setting, with dosing frequency and amounts determined by your condition and response to treatment[7]. ## Who Qualifies for Financial Assistance Amgen offers **two main patient assistance programs** for AVSOLA: ### 1. Amgen SupportPlus Co-Pay Program This program is designed for patients with **private or commercial insurance**[3]. There is **no income eligibility requirement**[1], meaning patients at any income level may qualify. The program helps reduce out-of-pocket costs including deductibles, co-insurance, and co-payments[1]. ### 2. Amgen Safety Net Foundation This independent, nonprofit patient assistance program provides AVSOLA at **no cost to qualifying patients** who meet these criteria[5]: - Have a demonstrated financial need - Are uninsured, OR - Have insurance that excludes AVSOLA coverage ## Income Eligibility The Amgen SupportPlus Co-Pay Program has **no income limits or eligibility requirements**[1][3]. This means you can access the program regardless of your household income or financial situation. For the Amgen Safety Net Foundation program, eligibility is based on demonstrated financial need rather than specific income thresholds. Contact Amgen SupportPlus directly to discuss your individual circumstances. ## Insurance Requirements **For the Co-Pay Program:** You must have private or commercial insurance[3]. Patients with certain plan limitations (such as accumulator adjustment programs) may not be eligible for the co-pay card but may qualify for other needs-based assistance from Amgen[3]. **For the Safety Net Foundation:** You must be uninsured or have insurance that excludes AVSOLA[5]. ## How the Co-Pay Program Works If you qualify for the Amgen SupportPlus Co-Pay Program[3]: - You pay **$5 out-of-pocket per treatment** - Amgen pays the remaining eligible out-of-pocket costs on your behalf - Assistance applies to co-pays, deductibles, and co-insurance - There is a **maximum annual program benefit** that applies per calendar year - You are responsible for amounts exceeding this limit ## Step-by-Step Application Process **Step 1: Verify Your Eligibility** Contact Amgen SupportPlus to determine which program you qualify for.

While specific processing times are not detailed in available materials, Amgen aims to streamline the enrollment process. Your healthcare provider's office can also help facilitate the process by submitting benefit verifications on your behalf[5]. Once approved, your co-pay card or assistance information will be provided to help you access AVSOLA at your next infusion appointment. ## What If Your Application Is Denied If you are denied for the Co-Pay Program, you may still be eligible for other needs-based assistance programs offered by Amgen[3].
