About This Medication

# CINQAIR Cost Support Program Patient Guide: How to Get CINQAIR at Low or No Cost CINQAIR (reslizumab) is an injectable biologic medication used to treat severe eosinophilic asthma in adults, helping reduce asthma attacks and improve breathing by targeting high eosinophil levels in the blood. The **CINQAIR Cost Support Program**, offered by Teva Respiratory, LLC, provides financial help to eligible commercially insured patients by covering out-of-pocket costs like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles for the drug and its administration—up to **$10,000 per calendar year**—potentially reducing costs to **$0 per dose**.[1][3] ## Who Qualifies for the Program? This program is designed specifically for patients with **commercial insurance** that covers CINQAIR. Key eligibility rules include: - You must reside in the United States or its territories. - You need valid commercial prescription insurance that pays for CINQAIR and its administration. - **Uninsured, cash-paying patients, or those whose commercial insurance does not cover CINQAIR are not eligible.**[1][3] - **Government or federally funded programs disqualify you**, such as Medicare (including Medicare Advantage, Part D, Medigap), Medicaid, VA, DoD, TRICARE, or Puerto Rico Government Health Insurance.[1][3] - **Medicare-eligible individuals in employer-sponsored retiree plans** (even if using employer drug benefits instead of Medicare Part D) are **not eligible**.[1][3] - Patients in states prohibiting assistance for drug administration may only get help for the medication cost, not administration.[1][3] - You must follow all insurance requirements, like prior authorizations.[1] **No income thresholds** apply—eligibility focuses on insurance type, not household income.[provided] ## About CINQAIR and Severe Eosinophilic Asthma CINQAIR is given as an intravenous (IV) infusion every 4 weeks by a healthcare provider, typically in a doctor's office, clinic, or infusion center. It's for adults (18+) with severe asthma driven by eosinophils (a type of white blood cell). Your doctor checks eligibility via a blood test showing eosinophils ≥300 cells/μL before or during steroid use. **Why use it?** CINQAIR reduces exacerbations (flare-ups), lowers oral steroid needs, and improves lung function. It's not for acute asthma attacks or other conditions. Common side effects include increased infection risk (e.g., respiratory), joint pain, and rare allergic reactions. Always discuss risks with your doctor—see full Prescribing Information for details, including **Boxed Warnings**.[1] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown This program **does not use income thresholds**—it's open to all qualifying commercially insured patients regardless of earnings.
