Viatris Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Hulio (Adalimumab-fkjp) at Low or No Cost

About This Program

The Viatris Patient Assistance Program helps uninsured and underinsured patients access Hulio (adalimumab-fkjp), a prescription medication used to treat inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other autoimmune disorders. This program is designed to ensure that cost is not a barrier to receiving the medication your doctor has prescribed.

What Is Hulio?

Hulio is a biosimilar — a biologic medication that works similarly to the original drug Humira (adalimumab). Biosimilars are highly similar copies of brand-name biologic drugs and are typically more affordable. Hulio is administered as an injection and helps reduce inflammation and immune system activity in patients with various autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Your doctor has determined that Hulio is the right medication for your treatment plan.

Who Qualifies for This Program?

You may qualify for the Viatris Patient Assistance Program if you meet the following criteria:

• You are uninsured — you do not have health insurance coverage
• You are underinsured — you have insurance but cannot afford your out-of-pocket costs (such as high copays, coinsurance, or deductibles)
• Your household income is low — while specific income thresholds are not publicly detailed, the program is designed for patients with limited financial resources

Important Note About Medicare

If you are enrolled in Medicare, you may still be eligible for this program, but you should verify directly with Viatris. Some patient assistance programs have restrictions for Medicare recipients, so it's important to confirm your eligibility by calling the program.

Income Eligibility

The Viatris Patient Assistance Program uses a low-income eligibility standard, though specific income thresholds are not publicly disclosed. Eligibility is typically based on:

• Your household income
• Your household size
• Your current out-of-pocket medical expenses
• Your insurance status

When you apply, you will need to provide information about your household income. The program will review your financial situation to determine if you qualify. If you're unsure whether your income level qualifies, the program staff can answer your questions during the application process.

Insurance Requirements

This program is specifically designed for:

• Uninsured patients — those without any health insurance
• Underinsured patients — those with insurance but facing high out-of-pocket costs

If you have commercial insurance, you may still qualify if your out-of-pocket costs are too high. However, you should explore other options first, such as copay assistance programs offered by Viatris or your insurance company.

• Biosimilar alternatives — discussing other treatment options with your doctor

Biosimilar Alternatives

If Hulio is not available through this program or if you are denied, discuss these alternatives with your doctor:

Your doctor can help determine which medication is best for your condition and may have information about assistance programs for other medications.
