About NULOJIX and its cost

What is this medication? Nulojix is a prescription medicine used to prevent the body from rejecting a newly transplanted kidney in adult patients. It belongs to a class of drugs called selective T-cell costimulation blockers and is administered as an intravenous infusion by a healthcare provider. The medication works by binding to specific receptors on the surface of immune cells to block the signals that lead to T-cell activation. By preventing these cells from attacking the foreign tissue of the donor organ, the drug helps the transplanted kidney function properly and remain healthy over time.

This medication is only intended for use in patients who have previously been exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus, a status known as being EBV seropositive. It is typically used in combination with other immunosuppressive drugs, such as corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil, to provide a comprehensive approach to preventing organ rejection. Because it suppresses the immune system, patients taking this drug are monitored closely for signs of infection or other serious side effects. It provides an alternative to certain other transplant medications that can sometimes cause long-term damage to the kidneys themselves.

NULOJIX is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 NULOJIX?

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 NULOJIX?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover NULOJIX?

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 Kidney Transplant?

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.
