insurance coverage for
BENLYSTA.

Determine your patient’s insurance coverage for BENLYSTA.

  • SEE DETAILS

    Utilize the Coverage and Formulary tool to review local coverage for your patients.

    For additional support, BENLYSTA Gateway can assist with benefits investigation and prior authorization (PA) research and support.
     

    BENLYSTA Gateway can complete a patient-specific benefits investigation with the patient’s payer and provide PA research and support.

    For benefits investigation, BENLYSTA Gateway can:

    • Contact insurance companies to obtain specific coverage information
    • Determine whether payer requires prior authorization
    • Determine estimated patient out-of-pocket responsibility


    Once BENLYSTA Gateway completes a benefit verification, you and your patient will receive a Summary of Benefits that will review the patient’s coverage. The information provided by BENLYSTA Gateway is not a guarantee of coverage.* Providers should confirm coverage information with payers.

    * Covered under a patient’s medical benefit or pharmacy benefit. Covered means any potential for reimbursement from
    a health plan and may include step edits, prior authorizations, and other restrictions based on an analysis of formal
    coverage policies.

    For PA research and support, BENLYSTA Gateway can:

    • Research plan requirements
    • Outline steps required for obtaining a PA from the patient’s plan
    • Obtain unique and plan-specific PA forms (where applicable)


    BENLYSTA Gateway can also follow up with the plan to help determine the status of the PA submission (if requested).

    Remember, BENLYSTA Gateway cannot complete PA forms or submit related information to plans. Instead, it is the responsibility of the office and prescribing physician to provide the plan with patient-specific clinical documentation.

    See Terms and Conditions for additional information.
