Tips for patients with Medicare/Medicaid coverage

When you need help paying for therapy

  • The PAH Pathways MasterCard® provides the first month of Tracleer at no cost to most privately insured, eligible patients*
  • Caring Voice Coalition (CVC) offers a PAH co-pay assistance program for eligible patients
    • CVC may also provide assistance with insurance policy premiums, emergency financial needs, and peer support groups
    • Contact CVC toll free at 1-888-267-1440 or visit www.caringvoice.org
Medicare Part D
  • Tracleer is covered for reimbursement under Medicare Part D
  • CVC may offer assistance to those eligible patients who report a co-pay hardship
    • CVC offers assistance with selecting Part D plans
    • CVC may help at all levels of Medicare benefit structure
Medicaid and other government or public payers
  • Medicaid and other public or government payers cover Tracleer in all 50 states1
  • The out-of-pocket cost for patients varies by state and program
  • Typical co-pays are $5 or less for patients who have met their spend-down1
    • Spend-down is a process that allows people with incomes above the Medicaid limit to still receive Medicaid. The process allows you to "spend down" your assets until you qualify for coverage
Uninsured
  • If a patient is currently uninsured or is rendered uninsured and has demonstrated financial hardship, PAH Pathways offers both short- and long-term assistance programs for Tracleer access to eligible patients
    • Tracleer Patient Assistance Program (TPAP) may provide therapy at no cost to eligible patients and may be renewed
    • Tracleer Bridge program offers up to 90 days of Tracleer at no cost to patients who may experience a short-term coverage gap

*Ineligible patients: Any patients whose prescriptions are paid for by the government, Medicare, Medicaid, VA/DOD (Tricare), or Indian Health Service, patients in Massachusetts and Puerto Rico, or where prohibited by law.

Tracleer Important Safety Information

Because of the risks associated with Tracleer, this medication may be prescribed only by your doctor through the Tracleer Access Program. Liver damage: Tracleer can cause serious liver damage, including in rare cases liver failure and, in situations with regular liver testing, unexplained liver cirrhosis. So you must have a blood test to check your liver function before you start Tracleer and each month after that. Call your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms of liver problems: nausea, vomiting, fever, unusual tiredness, abdominal (stomach area) pain, or yellowing of the skin or whites of your eyes (jaundice). Serious birth defects: Tracleer is very likely to cause serious birth defects. It is important not to be or to become pregnant while taking Tracleer and to have a pregnancy test before you start the drug and each month thereafter. It is very important for you to use reliable forms of birth control while taking Tracleer. Hormonal contraceptives should not be used alone because they may not be effective in patients taking Tracleer.

Do not take Tracleer with glyburide or cyclosporine-A, because they may increase your chance for side effects.
