About This Medication

# Octapharma IgCares Co-Pay Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Cutaquig at Low or No Cost Cutaquig (immune globulin subcutaneous (human) - hipp) is a prescription medication used to treat **primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI)** in adults and children 2 years and older, helping replace missing antibodies to fight infections.[1][6][9] The **Octapharma IgCares Co-Pay Assistance Program** offers eligible commercially insured patients up to **$12,500 per calendar year** in savings, reducing out-of-pocket costs like copays, deductibles, and coinsurance to as low as **$5 per prescription** for Cutaquig therapy.[1][2][3][5] ## About Cutaquig and Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) **Cutaquig** is a 16.5% immune globulin solution administered via subcutaneous infusion (SCIg), meaning it's given under the skin, often at home using a pump.[6][9] It's FDA-approved for **primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI)**, a group of rare genetic disorders where the immune system doesn't produce enough antibodies. This includes conditions like: - Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) - X-linked agammaglobulinemia - Congenital agammaglobulinemia - Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome - Severe combined immunodeficiencies[6] PI affects how your body fights infections, leading to frequent illnesses, sinus issues, or digestive problems. Cutaquig provides immunoglobulin (Ig) from healthy donors to boost your immunity, helping prevent infections and improve quality of life.[7][10] It's for adults and kids 2+ years old, and Medicare Part B may cover it with an external infusion pump for eligible patients.[9] Always follow your doctor's instructions, as it carries warnings like risk of thrombosis (blood clots).[6][10] **Important safety note:** Discuss side effects, such as injection site reactions, headaches, or rare serious risks, with your healthcare provider. Cutaquig is not a cure but a lifelong replacement therapy for many.[10] ## Who Qualifies for the Program? This is a **copay assistance program**, not a free drug program, focused on reducing costs for commercially insured patients. Key eligibility: - You must have a prescription for **Cutaquig from Octapharma** and be currently using it or starting therapy.[1][2] - **Commercial insurance only** – no government insurance.[1][2][3] - U.S. resident (implied for such programs). **Income eligibility:** This program is **not income-based**. Anyone meeting the insurance and prescription criteria can qualify, regardless of household income.[3] There's no Federal Poverty Level (FPL) limit or financial review. ## Insurance Requirements - **Eligible:** Private commercial health insurance plans covering Cutaquig.[1][2][3] - **Not eligible:** Medicare (Parts B/D), Medicaid, Medigap, VA, DOD, Tricare, or any federal/state government insurance.[1][2] The program covers only **copays, deductibles, and coinsurance** for the Cutaquig drug itself – not administration fees, office visits, infusion pumps, or other services.[1][3][5] Medicare patients may have separate Part B coverage for the drug via DME pumps, but they can't use this copay program.[9] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Since this is **not needs-based**, there's no income table or thresholds. Qualification hinges on insurance type and Cutaquig prescription, making it accessible without financial disclosure.[3] | Eligibility Factor | Details | |--------------------|---------| | **Income Limit** | None – open to all qualifying insured patients[3] | | **Household Size** | Not applicable | | **FPL %** | Not applicable | | **Annual Benefit Cap** | $12,500 per calendar year[1][2][3][5] | | **Cost Per Fill** | As low as $5[3] | ## Step-by-Step Application Process Enrollment is **automatic and simple** – handled by your **specialty pharmacy**, not a lengthy application form.[1][2] No separate enrollment form is typically needed beyond pharmacy processing.[3] 1. **Get Prescribed Cutaquig:** Talk to your doctor about starting or continuing Cutaquig for PI. They confirm it's appropriate.[1] 2. **Use a Participating Specialty Pharmacy:** Ask your pharmacy if they partner with Octapharma IgCares (most do).

This triggers enrollment.[1][2] 4. **Receive Consent Link:** You'll get a **secure text message** with a link to review and e-sign consent for assistance.[1][2] 5. **You're Enrolled!** Upon first claim submission and consent, assistance activates. No further action needed until year-end reenrollment.[2][3] **Contact:** Call IgCares Support at **1-833-382-7686** (Mon-Fri, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM ET) for help finding a pharmacy, eligibility checks, or questions.[1][2][3][4] Additional support: Request a free **Welcome Kit** with supplies and info, or speak to a Clinical Nurse Educator.[4] ## Timeline and Delivery - **Processing Time:** Enrollment is near-instant after pharmacy claim and your consent via text – often same-day activation.[1][2] - **First Savings:** Applies to your next fill; you'll pay ~$5 out-of-pocket.[3] - **Delivery:** Handled by your specialty pharmacy as usual (shipped to home or pickup). Program doesn't change this.[2] - **Benefit Period:** Calendar year (Jan-Dec). You'll get a reminder to reconfirm consent annually.[2][3] - **Reauthorization:** Yes, required yearly via text consent. Ongoing fills auto-apply assistance until cap reached.[1][2] Expect savings up to $12,500/year, but track usage as it resets January 1.[5] ## Alternatives if Denied or Ineligible - **Government Insured (e.g., Medicare):** Check Medicare Part B for SCIg pump coverage.
