Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.
About Truxima and its cost
What is this medication? Truxima is a prescription medicine that is classified as a biosimilar to the drug Rituxan. It is a monoclonal antibody designed to target the CD20 antigen, which is a protein located on the surface of B-cells in the immune system. By binding to these specific cells, the medication aids the body in neutralizing or eliminating them, which is a key mechanism for treating conditions characterized by abnormal or overactive B-cell activity.
The medication is used for several different medical conditions, most notably certain types of cancer like non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In addition to treating oncology patients, it is approved for use in adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have not responded well to other treatments. It is also prescribed for individuals with rare autoimmune disorders that involve blood vessel inflammation, including granulomatosis with polyangiitis and microscopic polyangiitis.
Truxima is made by Celltrion. 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 Truxima?
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 Truxima?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Celltrion has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Truxima?
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 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma?
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.
