About This Medication

# JORNAY PM Patient Guide: How to Get JORNAY PM at Low or No Cost JORNAY PM (methylphenidate HCl) is an evening-dosed, extended-release capsule approved by the FDA to treat **ADHD** in children ages 6 and older, and adults. This guide explains the **Collegium Pharmaceutical patient assistance program** and **savings card** to help you afford it.[3][6] ## About JORNAY PM **JORNAY PM** is a central nervous system stimulant containing **methylphenidate**, a Schedule II controlled substance. Unlike typical morning-dosed ADHD medications, you take JORNAY PM once daily in the evening before bed. Its delayed-release and extended-release design activates by morning, helping **increase attention**, **reduce impulsivity**, and **decrease hyperactivity** throughout the day—especially beneficial for morning functional challenges.[3][6][8] The average retail cost for a 30-capsule prescription is **$478-$564**, though prices vary by dosage, pharmacy, and location. Without assistance, costs can be high, but programs from **Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc.** make it more accessible.[7][10] **Important Safety Note**: JORNAY PM carries a **black box warning** for risk of misuse, abuse, and dependence. Use only as prescribed and discuss risks with your doctor.[7][8] ## Who Qualifies for Assistance? Collegium offers **two main programs**: 1. **Savings Card (Copay Card)**: For **commercially insured** patients (private insurance, not government plans). Pay **as little as $25** per 30-capsule fill, up to **16 uses per year** (about 12 months). Not for Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, or uninsured.[1][2][6] 2. **Patient Assistance Program (PAP)**: For **uninsured or underinsured** patients unable to afford JORNAY PM. Provides medication at **no cost or reduced cost**. Exact income limits aren't publicly detailed but typically follow federal poverty level (FPL) guidelines (e.g., 400-500% FPL). Contact Collegium for eligibility.[6] **General Eligibility**: - Valid U.S. prescription for JORNAY PM. - Age 6+ with ADHD diagnosis. - For PAP: Proof of financial need, U.S. residency.[6] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Specific income thresholds for Collegium's PAP aren't listed online, but PAPs generally use FPL. Here's a sample table based on common standards (2026 estimates; verify with Collegium as they may adjust): | Household Size | Up to 400% FPL (Example Threshold) | Annual Income Example | |---------------|------------------------------------|-----------------------| | 1 (Individual)| $60,240 | Low/No Cost Eligible | | 2 (Couple) | $81,760 | Low/No Cost Eligible | | 3 | $103,280 | Low/No Cost Eligible | | 4 | $124,800 | Low/No Cost Eligible | *Notes*: Add ~$21,520 per additional person.

Many plans require **prior authorization (PA)** and **step therapy** (try generics like methylphenidate ER first).[6][9] - **Medicare Part D**: Most plans **do not cover** brand JORNAY PM; generics may be covered. Savings card ineligible.[5][7] - **Medicaid**: Varies by state; often needs PA. Check state guidelines.[7] - **Uninsured**: Use PAP.[6] If insured but high copays, PAP may bridge gaps for underinsured.[4][6] ## Step-by-Step Application Process ### For Savings Card (Easiest for Commercially Insured): 1.
