TYVASO DPI

United Therapeutics Cares Co-Pay Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get TYVASO DPI at Low or No Cost

TYVASO DPI (treprostinil) is an inhaled medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and certain types of interstitial lung disease (ILD). The United Therapeutics Cares Co-Pay Assistance Program helps eligible patients with commercial insurance pay as little as $0 co-pay per prescription, covering the cost of the drug up to an annual maximum benefit.[1][2][3]

About TYVASO DPI

TYVASO DPI is a dry powder inhaler form of treprostinil, a prostacyclin analog that helps relax blood vessels in the lungs to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms of PAH or PH-ILD. Unlike the nebulized version (TYVASO), the DPI version is portable and doesn't require mixing solutions, making it easier for daily use—typically 4 times a day.[1][2] It's prescribed for FDA-approved uses and delivered only through specialty pharmacies like Accredo or CVS Specialty.[2]

This guide focuses on the Co-Pay Assistance Program, but note there's also a separate Patient Assistance Program (PAP) for uninsured or underinsured patients—call (844) 864-8437 to check eligibility.[4][8]

Who Qualifies?

This program is designed for patients with private commercial insurance facing high out-of-pocket costs. Key requirements include:

• U.S. resident (including Puerto Rico, subject to state restrictions).[5]
• Valid prescription for TYVASO DPI for an FDA-approved indication.[3][8]
• Commercial (private) insurance only—no government programs.[1][3]
• Not combining with other discounts, coupons, or savings offers.[3]

Important: No specific income thresholds are listed for the co-pay program, making it accessible regardless of income as long as you have qualifying insurance. However, the separate PAP has income guidelines for uninsured patients.[4][8]

Income Eligibility Breakdown

The Co-Pay Assistance Program does not impose income limits. Here's a simple overview:

If you're uninsured, explore the PAP instead.[8]

Insurance Requirements

• Eligible: Commercial/private insurance plans.[1][3][4]
• Not Eligible: Medicare, Medicaid, or any federal/state government program. If you switch to government coverage, you lose eligibility immediately.[3]
• The program covers your co-pay for the medication only—not supplies, administration costs, or other expenses.[1][3]
• Pharmacists/prescribers cannot seek reimbursement from insurance for the program's benefit.[3]

Your specialty pharmacy and Patient Navigator will verify coverage before approval.[2]

Step-by-Step Application Process

Enrollment is straightforward with multiple methods. Expect support from your doctor, United Therapeutics Cares, and specialty pharmacies.[2]

Alternatives if Denied or Ineligible

• Government Insurance: Not eligible here, but check state Medicaid or Medicare Extra Help.
• Uninsured/Underinsured: Apply to the United Therapeutics ASSIST Patient Assistance Program (PAP) for potentially free medication if you meet income guidelines and are a U.S. resident.[4][8]
• Other Resources: Pulmonary Hypertension Association lists additional aid; explore generic options or manufacturer PAPs.[9]
• Appeal: Contact United Therapeutics Cares to discuss denial reasons and next steps.[1]
• Charity Foundations: Patient Access Network (PAN) or HealthWell Foundation may help with copays for PAH.
