About This Medication

# Takeda Patient Support Co-Pay Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get HyQvia at Low or No Cost HyQvia (immune globulin 10% with recombinant human hyaluronidase) is a subcutaneous immunoglobulin therapy approved by the FDA for treating primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). This guide explains the **Takeda Patient Support Co-Pay Assistance Program**, which can cover up to 100% of your out-of-pocket co-pay costs for HyQvia if you qualify, helping make this important treatment more affordable[1][2][3]. ## About HyQvia HyQvia combines immune globulin 10% (a concentrated form of antibodies from healthy donors) with a recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme that temporarily breaks down hyaluronan in the skin's tissue. This allows larger volumes of immune globulin to be infused subcutaneously (under the skin) rather than intravenously, offering **convenience with infusions every 3-4 weeks lasting up to 2 hours at home or in a center after training**[7][8]. It's FDA-approved for maintenance therapy in adults with PI or CIDP, helping prevent infections or relapses by boosting your immune system[2][4]. **Key benefits for patients:** - Fewer infusions compared to weekly treatments. - Home administration option after training. - Flexible dosing based on your doctor's prescription. Always consult your healthcare provider to see if HyQvia is right for you, especially if you've been on stable IVIG doses for at least 12 weeks before switching[7]. ## Who Qualifies for the Program? The **Takeda Patient Support Co-Pay Assistance Program** is designed for **commercially insured patients** prescribed HyQvia for an FDA-approved indication. You must meet these core eligibility criteria[2][3][10]: - Prescription for HyQvia from your doctor for PI or CIDP. - **Commercial insurance** (including Marketplace plans; excludes all government programs). - Enrollment in Takeda Patient Support. **Important exclusions:** The program cannot be used if any part of your prescription is covered by Medicare (including Part D or Coverage Gap), Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, VA, or other federal/state programs. FEHB is allowed as it's not considered government-funded for this purpose[2][3][4]. ## Income Eligibility This program focuses on **co-pay assistance** rather than strict income limits, so there's no specific Federal Poverty Level (FPL) threshold or household size requirements listed. Eligibility hinges on commercial insurance and prescription details, with an **annual maximum benefit** (e.g., up to $20,000 for HyQvia—check www.takedapatientsupport.com/copay for your product's exact limit)[2][10]. If you're uninsured or underinsured, ask about **Takeda Help At Hand**, a separate program for those without adequate coverage[9]. | Household Size | Income Threshold | FPL % | Notes | |---------------|------------------|-------|-------| | Individual | Not specified | N/A | Primarily insurance-based; no income cap detailed[2] | | Couple | Not specified | N/A | Annual benefit max applies (e.g., $20,000)[10] | | Family of 3 | Not specified | N/A | Excludes government insurance[3] | | Family of 4 | Not specified | N/A | Enroll first to confirm[1] | Support specialists can review your situation—call 1-866-861-1750[1]. ## Insurance Requirements **Commercial insurance only.** This includes employer-sponsored plans and Marketplace insurance. Government-funded programs are strictly excluded to comply with federal anti-kickback laws. If your insurance covers 100% of costs, you won't qualify.
