About This Medication

# TRUXIMA® (rituximab-abbs) Cost Support Program Patient Guide: How to Get TRUXIMA at Low or No Cost TRUXIMA® (rituximab-abbs) is a biosimilar prescription medicine used to treat certain types of cancer and autoimmune conditions in adults. The **TRUXIMA Cost Support Program**, offered by **Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.**, helps eligible commercially insured patients reduce their out-of-pocket costs for TRUXIMA to as little as **$0** per treatment.[1][2][3][4] ## About TRUXIMA TRUXIMA is a targeted therapy that works by binding to a protein called CD20 on the surface of certain immune cells (B-cells), helping to reduce their activity or destroy them. It is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion by a healthcare professional, typically in a hospital, clinic, or infusion center.[1][2][3] ### Approved Uses TRUXIMA is FDA-approved for adults with: - **Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL)**: Various types, including relapsed or refractory low-grade or follicular CD20-positive B-cell NHL (alone or with chemotherapy), previously untreated follicular NHL (with chemotherapy and maintenance), non-progressing low-grade NHL after CVP chemotherapy, and diffuse large B-cell NHL with CHOP or similar regimens.[1][2] - **Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)**: In combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide.[2][3] - **Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)**: With methotrexate for moderate to severe active RA after TNF antagonists failed.[2][3] **Important Safety Note**: TRUXIMA can cause serious side effects like infusion reactions, infections, hepatitis B reactivation, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Always discuss risks with your doctor and report symptoms like fever, chills, confusion, or weakness immediately.[1][2][3] ## Who Qualifies for the Program? The program is **not** a traditional income-based patient assistance program with federal poverty level (FPL) limits. Instead, it targets patients with **commercial (private) prescription insurance** covering TRUXIMA. Key eligibility: - Valid prescription for TRUXIMA for an FDA-approved use. - Coverage through a **commercial pharmacy or medical benefit plan** (not government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, etc.).[1][4][10] - U.S. residents (including territories).[4][10] **Not eligible**: Uninsured patients, cash-paying individuals, or those on federal/state government-funded insurance (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE). Patients whose insurance prohibits copay assistance may have limited benefits—call to confirm.[4][8][10] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Since this is a copay assistance program, there are **no specific income thresholds** like 400% FPL common in free drug programs. Eligibility hinges on insurance type, not income. However, for context, here's a general table of FPL guidelines from similar programs (TRUXIMA does not use these): | Household Size | 400% FPL (2026 est.) | Notes | |---------------|----------------------|-------| | 1 (Individual) | ~$60,000 | Not applicable to TRUXIMA program | | 2 (Couple) | ~$81,000 | Commercial insurance required | | 3 | ~$102,000 | Call 1-844-355-1499 for details | | 4 | ~$123,000 | Annual program max applies | The program covers eligible out-of-pocket costs up to an **annual maximum benefit** (specifics via phone).[4][10] Claims can be reimbursed retroactively up to 180 days before enrollment.[4] ## Insurance Requirements - **Commercial insurance only**: Must cover TRUXIMA via pharmacy or medical benefit. Government insurance disqualifies you.[1][4][8][10] - Provide proof of out-of-pocket costs (e.g., Explanation of Benefits - EOB, CMS-1500/UB04 claim forms) for reimbursement, especially medical claims.[4] - If your plan changes or restricts copay cards, contact the program immediately at **1-844-355-1499**.[4] - No substitutions allowed; must be for TRUXIMA.[4] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Get Prescribed**: Confirm with your doctor that TRUXIMA is right for you and obtain a valid prescription.[1] 2. **Check Eligibility**: Visit truxima.com or truximahcp.com/support-resources, or call **1-844-355-1499** (Mon-Fri, business hours).
