We’re behind you all the way.
Questions are a natural part of starting a new treatment. Our support is designed to point you to answers and resources when and where you need them.

Insurance & Coverage
Expertise for all things insurance.
The United Therapeutics Cares team knows the insurance landscape inside and out. We can walk you through the specifics of your plan and work with your care team to help navigate coverage for your therapy.
Understanding your plan
Not sure where to start with insurance? We get it. At its simplest, insurance is typically split into commercial (or private) plans and government plans, which include Medicare and Medicaid.
Private healthcare coverage that is typically offered through an employer, purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace, or obtained directly from an insurance carrier or broker.
Healthcare coverage that is supplied directly by the government. These plans include Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Health Administration, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), TRICARE, and Indian Health Services.

Cost & Savings
Accessible treatment starts with affording it.
Insurance may not cover all of your out-of-pocket prescription costs. To assist with making those payments, we can share with you a number of additional potential cost-saving options that may be able to make your treatment more affordable depending on your eligibility.
Co-pay assistance
If you have a commercial insurance plan, our co-pay assistance program can help cover your out-of-pocket expenses. If you’re eligible, you may qualify to pay as little as a $0 co-pay per prescription of ADCIRCA. The United Therapeutics Cares Co-Pay Assistance Program will automatically pay the difference up to the monthly maximum program benefit.*
Terms & Conditions *Patients must meet certain eligibility criteria to qualify for assistance. Patients receiving reimbursement under Medicare, Medicaid, VA, DoD (TRICARE), Indian Health Services, or similar federal or state programs, may not be eligible for some assistance. Some portion of this patient assistance may be administered by third-party patient assistance organizations. The Program is subject to additional state law restrictions. Patients residing in select states may not be eligible for the Program. The program is subject to termination or modification at any time. Offer is not valid where prohibited by law.Co-pay assistance

- You should discuss all of your medical conditions and all medications with your healthcare provider before starting ADCIRCA

- Do not take ADCIRCA if you are allergic to tadalafil or any other ingredient in ADCIRCA
- ADCIRCA is a type of medication called a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor (PDE-5i) that can cause blood vessels to widen, which may result in a decrease in blood pressure.
