Program Offering and Eligibility

The HEMLIBRA Co-pay Program may help eligible commercially insured patients who have been prescribed HEMLIBRA with their medicine co-pays.

Program offering

Eligible commercially insured patients can save $15,000 per calendar year in medicine costs. They pay as little as $5 per co-pay.

Patients may owe more than $5 depending on how the health insurance plan applies manufacturer co-pay assistance to out-of-pocket costs.

Eligibility

Patients are eligible if they:
  • Have been prescribed HEMLIBRA for an FDA-approved indication
  • Are 18 years of age or older, or have a caregiver or have a legally authorized person to manage the patient's co-pay assistance
  • Have commercial (private or non-governmental) insurance.* This includes plans available through state and federal health insurance exchanges
  • Reside and receive treatment in the United States or U.S. Territories
  • Are not receiving assistance through the Genentech Patient Foundation or any other charitable organization for the same expenses covered by the program
  • Are not a government beneficiary and/or participant in a federal or state-funded health insurance program (e.g., Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Medicaid, VA, DoD, TRICARE)

 

*Commercial insurance includes plans you receive from your job or plans from the Health Insurance Marketplace. Government programs like Medicare and Medicaid are not commercial insurance.

If a patient is not eligible for the HEMLIBRA Co-pay Program, there may be other options for co-pay assistance. Call (866) 436-5427 or visit HEMLIBRA.com/access to learn more.

Important Safety Information

Boxed WARNING: THROMBOTIC MICROANGIOPATHY and THROMBOEMBOLISM

Cases of thrombotic microangiopathy and thrombotic events were reported when on average a cumulative amount of >100 U/kg/24 hours of activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC) was administered for 24 hours or more to patients receiving HEMLIBRA prophylaxis. Monitor for the development of thrombotic microangiopathy and thrombotic events if aPCC is administered. Discontinue aPCC and suspend dosing of HEMLIBRA if symptoms occur.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Immunogenicity: Anti-emicizumab antibodies (including neutralizing antibodies) have developed in HEMLIBRA-treated patients
  • In case of clinical signs of loss of efficacy, promptly assess the etiology and consider a change in treatment if neutralizing antibodies are suspected
  • Laboratory coagulation test interference: HEMLIBRA interferes with activated clotting time (ACT); activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT); and coagulation laboratory tests based on aPTT, including one-stage, aPTT-based single-factor assays; aPTT-based Activated Protein C Resistance (APC-R); and Bethesda assays (clotting-based) for factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor titers. Intrinsic pathway clotting-based laboratory tests should not be used

Most Common Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥10%) are injection site reactions, headache, and arthralgia.

You may report side effects to the FDA at (800) FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. You may also report side effects to Genentech at (888) 835-2555.
