Dealing with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be extremely frustrating and result in a diminished quality of life. Some people take medication that, unfortunately, does not help their RA. For those who suffer from this complication, Actemra may be useful in helping reduce their RA symptoms.
However, Actemra can can cost upwards of $1,300.00. Costs such as these prove prohibitive for Americans who struggle to make ends meet. Plenty of Americans then choose to go without their medication, leaving their RA untreated.
However, Prescription Hope offers an alternative approach.
Access to the Actemra Patient Assistance Program through Prescription Hope means getting access to Actemra for just $70.00 per month, per medication, as well as being supported by a trained advocate throughout the application process.
Not only does Prescription Hope advocate on our patients’ behalf during the application process, but we also provide comprehensive management, which includes ordering directly from the manufacturer, scheduling refills, and keeping patient information up to date.
We provide Actemra prescription assistance to all who qualify.
What Is the Actemra Patient Assistance Program
Sometimes, purchasing brand-name medications at retail costs can be hard on a patient’s wallet. Some patients even go without buying their medications because the cost is too much for them to afford.
Manufacturers of these brand-name medications put programs in place to help those who cannot afford the medications but need access to them. These programs are called Patient Assistance Programs, and they offer patients who qualify for them affordable rates on their medications.
The Actemra Patient Assistance Program provides an opportunity to get it at an affordable rate.
However, there is typically a catch with these programs. The application process is often complex and confusing to navigate. Some get rejected due to application errors, while others find the process so confusing and overwhelming that they give up or avoid applying altogether.
Prescription Hope handles the entire process for our patients, allowing them to breathe easy. After receiving your enrollment form, we will determine whether you prequalify. Once we do, we collect all the necessary documentation and handle the entire application process for you.
Following approval by the manufacturer, we handle ordering direct from the manufacturer to your doorstep or doctor’s office, and then ensure your refill schedule is accurate and properly fulfilled.
How Expert Advocates Make Actemra Affordable
Professional Application Management
Due to the complexity of the application process, programs such as the Actemra Patient Assistance Program can seem daunting, even to the healthcare provider office professional. Sadly, many people get rejected due to unknown errors and walk away feeling dejected. Some even give up on trying to get their medication after being rejected.
Those new to the PAP application process typically do not know what the manufacturer is looking for or how to stay up to date on requirement changes that occur without warning.
For 20 years, Prescription Hope has led the industry in advocating on behalf of patients through Patient Assistance Programs. We coordinate with manufacturers and healthcare providers to get our patients access to their medications in a reasonable time frame. Ultimately, we make a complex process feel simple and efficient.
We’ve worked with 180 pharmaceutical manufacturers and have gained extensive knowledge of the PAP application process, enabling access to affordable medications for patients nationwide over the years.
Allowing Prescription Hope to handle your application process and medication access management means avoiding costly mistakes and confusing regulations, while also gaining peace of mind that your medication access is in the hands of industry-leading professionals.
Predictable Monthly Pricing
The high cost of medication like Actemra makes obtaining it extremely difficult for those who cannot access the medication through insurance or government programs. Even then, some people’s programs do not cover the medication or require massive copays or high deductibles.
While discount cards, discount programs, coupons, or even rebates are often offered for medications such as Actemra, the truth is that the discount might only be a fraction of the cost. Many patients are left reeling when they realize that the discount card or coupon helps them save a couple of bucks on a medication worth thousands.
Not only that, but many discount programs and cards can be unpredictable, as they are often offered for a short time and then changed or removed.
Prescription Hope is different. It is not an insurance program, discount card, or coupon. It does not use variable pricing or confusing systems.
Prescription Hope is passionate about providing a clear and consistent fee to its patients. For $70.00 per month, per medication, Prescription Hope provides access to affordable medications for its patients. Regardless of the retail price of the medication, our patients pay only $70.00 per month, per medication. No fees, no charges, no medication costs. Patients only pay the easy-to-remember $70.00 monthly service fee.

Understanding Actemra for Rheumatoid Arthritis
How Actemra Works
Actemra (tocilizumab) is used to treat adults who suffer from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis, and polyarticular and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. To be prescribed Actemra, patients must have already been prescribed another medication and found it to be ineffective.
Actemra works by blocking a substance called IL-6, which is known to cause inflammation. Often, those with RA have too much IL-6.
Healthcare providers administer the medication either through IV or through injection.
Program Benefits and Additional Support
When other medications have failed to help treat RA, some doctors may prescribe Actemra to help relieve the symptoms associated with RA. Unfortunately, when the cost of a single syringe can exceed $920.00, many people may choose to forgo treating their RA.
Prescription Hope works to provide access to affordable Actemra for their patients and offers comprehensive medication management access.
Access to Multiple Medications
In addition to the Actemra Patient Assistance Program, Prescription Hope collaborates with 180 pharmaceutical manufacturers, offering access to more than 1,500 brand-name medications. Many patients for whom Prescription Hope advocates get access to multiple medications.
For $70.00 per month, per medication, patients get access to affordable meds plus full medication access management. We coordinate ordering, refills, and necessary paperwork to maintain patients’ access.
