Learn about cost assistance

Paying for treatment shouldn’t get in the way of your health. That’s why our Amgen By Your Side team is diligent in exploring all options for you:

$0 Co-pay: Commercial Insurance

Do you have commercial insurance, such as a preferred provider organization (PPO) or health maintenance organization (HMO)? If so, you may be eligible for a $0 co-pay for both the cost of TEPEZZA and the IV infusion process through the Amgen Commercial Co-Pay Program.*

Government Insurance

Do you have government insurance, such as Medicare, Medicare Part D, Medicaid, Medigap, VA, CHAMPUS, Department of Defense, TRICARE, or any state patient, foundation, or other pharmaceutical program? If so, there may be additional support for you.

Patients with government insurance are not eligible for co-pay assistance but may be eligible for independent foundation support.

Call 1-833-483-7399 to speak to someone about your cost assistance options.

Get support through the insurance approval process

TEPEZZA is a specialty medicine that is not available at your local pharmacy. Specialty medicines like TEPEZZA require additional approval from your insurance provider before you can begin treatment. The approval process can take up to 90 days from the time your doctor prescribes TEPEZZA until you get your first infusion. For some people, it may be shorter or longer depending on your insurance provider. But don't worry, the Amgen By Your Side team is here to help.
