Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) is a biologic medication prescribed for several autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. While highly effective, biologics can be prohibitively expensive. To help patients afford their treatment, the manufacturer offers a Patient Assistance Program (PAP).

I know filling out medical assistance forms feels like a second job you never applied for. But the Cimzia program is known for being one of the more generous PAPs in the biologic space. Thousands of patients get their medication for $0 every year.

The application process differs depending on your insurance status and how you receive the medication:

The program is designed to provide medication at little to no cost to patients who meet specific financial and medical criteria. It is generally intended for patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or those who have fallen into the Medicare Part D "donut hole" (coverage gap).

This is where most people hesitate. You are not required to send tax returns or pay stubs. Instead, you will attesting that your gross household income is under the limit.

You must be uninsured or have no prescription drug coverage. Patients with Medicare Part D may be eligible and are encouraged to apply for a case-by-case determination.

Read the attestation carefully. You are signing under penalty of law that everything is true.
