About CNJ-016 and its cost

What is this medication? CNJ-016, also known as Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous, is a prescription medication used to treat serious complications that can occur following a smallpox vaccination. It is a sterile solution containing high levels of antibodies derived from the plasma of healthy donors who were previously immunized with the smallpox vaccine. These antibodies help the body fight off the vaccinia virus, which is the live virus used in the vaccine, when it causes adverse reactions or spreads uncontrollably in the body.

The medication is specifically indicated for the treatment of conditions such as eczema vaccinatum, progressive vaccinia, and severe cases of generalized vaccinia. It is also utilized for accidental infections involving the eye or other sensitive areas where the vaccine virus was unintentionally transferred. CNJ-016 is administered by a healthcare provider through an intravenous infusion, typically in a clinical or hospital setting to monitor the patient's response to the treatment.

CNJ-016 is made by Emergent BioSolutions. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford CNJ-016?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for CNJ-016?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Emergent BioSolutions has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover CNJ-016?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Keratitis?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
