About This Medication

# Takeda Patient Support Co-Pay Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get HyQvia at Low or No Cost HyQvia (Immune Globulin Infusion 10% with Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase) is a prescription medication used to treat primary immunodeficiency (PI) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The **Takeda Patient Support Co-Pay Assistance Program** helps eligible commercially insured patients reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket co-pay costs for HyQvia, potentially covering up to 100% of costs with annual limits.[1][3][8] ## About HyQvia **HyQvia** is an immunoglobulin therapy administered subcutaneously (under the skin) every 3-4 weeks, thanks to recombinant human hyaluronidase, which allows larger volumes to be infused more conveniently than traditional IVIG. It's FDA-approved for maintenance treatment in adults with PI and as maintenance therapy to prevent relapse in adults with CIDP.[1][4][9] Infusions can take place at home or in a center after training, offering flexibility with up to 2-hour monthly sessions.[9] Always consult your doctor to confirm if HyQvia is right for your condition. ## Who Qualifies? This program targets patients facing high co-pays for HyQvia. Key eligibility criteria include: - Prescription for **HyQvia** for an FDA-approved indication (PI or CIDP).[1][3] - **Commercial insurance** (including Marketplace plans; FEHB is allowed, but not if insurance covers 100% of costs).[1][3][10] - Enrollment in **Takeda Patient Support**.[1][2] **Exclusions**: Not for government-funded programs like Medicare (including Part D), Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, or if in Medicare coverage gap.[1][3][9][10] Uninsured or government-insured patients may get referrals to other assistance options via Takeda Support.[4] ## Income Eligibility This is a **co-pay assistance program**, not income-based free medication. No specific income thresholds (e.g., FPL percentages) apply. Eligibility hinges on insurance type and prescription, not household income.[1][3] However, annual savings caps exist (e.g., up to $20,000 per year for HyQvia; check takedapatientsupport.com/copay for exact limits).[8] | Household Size | Income Threshold | Notes | |---------------|------------------|-------| | Individual | None | Co-pay only; commercial insurance required. | | Couple | None | Annual cap applies (e.g., $20,000).[8] | | Family of 3 | None | Excludes government insurance. | | Family of 4 | None | FEHB eligible if commercial. | ## Insurance Requirements **Commercial insurance** is mandatory. Program covers co-pays, deductibles, or co-insurance for HyQvia—not premiums or non-covered services. Cannot combine with government programs or if insurance pays fully.
