TYVASO DPI® (treprostinil)

We’re behind you all the way.

Questions are a natural part of starting a new treatment. It’s our job to point you to answers and resources when and where you need them. Your Patient Navigator  will meet with you early in your treatment journey—and as often as it’s helpful—to guide you through how we can assist you best.

Step 1: Education & Expectations

Getting started with your Patient Navigator.

From the get-go, your Patient Navigator will provide education on our program offerings and tailoring ongoing communications according to your needs and schedule. Any questions you run into regarding our support or the safe and effective use of your treatment, they’ll be there to help answer them.

Step 2: Insurance & Coverage

Expertise for all things insurance.

We’ve made a point of ensuring your United Therapeutics Cares™ team knows the insurance landscape inside and out. United Therapeutics Cares will 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.

Navigating your coverage

Insurance details can be tricky to grasp. We’re here to help fill in any gaps in your understanding. Your Patient Navigator can connect you to an Access & Affordability Specialist  who will walk you through your plan, what your coverage includes, and provide education on financial assistance options if your treatment isn’t covered.

Benefits investigation

Behind the scenes, we’ll verify the coverage your insurance plan provides for your prescribed medication. If needed, we will also identify the steps required for prior authorizations and coordinate prescription logistics with your Specialty Pharmacy.

Step 3: Cost & Savings

Accessible treatment starts with affording it.

Insurance may not cover all of your out-of-pocket prescription costs. Your Patient Navigator 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 TYVASO or TYVASO DPI. The United Therapeutics Cares Co-Pay Assistance Program will pay the difference up to the annual maximum 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.

Step 4: Prescription Coordination

Coordinating with your Specialty Pharmacy.

Our goal is to support you during your United Therapeutics treatment. Your prescription and refills are a big part of that. Your Patient Navigator will help you get set up with your Specialty Pharmacy. Your Specialty Pharmacy will work directly with you to fill your prescription and coordinate your delivery at a time and place that works best for you.

This is how Specialty Pharmacies work:

  1. Your Specialty Pharmacy will conduct a review of your insurance benefits.
  2. Your Specialty Pharmacy will confirm your medication coverage.
  3. Your Specialty Pharmacy will call to review your co-payment and insurance coverage.
  4. Shipments will be scheduled for delivery where it’s most convenient for you.
