About Yeztugo and its cost

What is this medication? Yeztugo is a prescription medication classified as a biosimilar to Stelara, meaning it is highly similar to the original biologic drug in terms of safety and effectiveness. It is used to treat several chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Specifically, it is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in both adults and certain pediatric patients, as well as active psoriatic arthritis. It is also utilized for adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to help induce and maintain remission of symptoms. The medication functions by inhibiting the action of two specific proteins in the immune system, interleukin-12 and interleukin-23. These proteins play a significant role in the inflammatory processes that lead to the symptoms of the conditions it treats. By targeting these pathways, the drug helps to reduce skin inflammation, joint swelling, and intestinal damage. Depending on the condition and the stage of treatment, it may be administered as an initial intravenous infusion followed by regular subcutaneous injections.

Yeztugo is made by Bio-Thera Solutions. 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 Yeztugo?

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 Yeztugo?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Yeztugo?

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 Cancer?

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.
