About INFLIXIMAB and its cost

What is this medication? Infliximab is a prescription medication classified as a tumor necrosis factor blocker, designed to reduce inflammation throughout the body. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of various autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, including moderate to severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in both adults and children. Additionally, it is frequently used in combination with other medications like methotrexate to manage symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, helping to slow the progression of joint damage and improve overall physical function.

This medication is also approved for treating other chronic conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and severe or disabling plaque psoriasis. It works by binding to and neutralizing a specific protein in the body that plays a key role in the inflammatory process. Because it is a biologic therapy that affects the immune system, it is typically administered by a healthcare professional through an intravenous infusion. By targeting the source of inflammation, infliximab helps patients manage flare-ups and maintain long-term remission from their specific conditions.

INFLIXIMAB is made by Janssen. 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 INFLIXIMAB?

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 INFLIXIMAB?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover INFLIXIMAB?

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 Psoriasis?

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.
