Not sure which kind of help you qualify for?
Actemra offers more than one kind of program, and they have opposite rules:
- Have private insurance? The copay card can cut your monthly cost - but it can’t be used with Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, or Tricare.
- Uninsured or low-income? The patient assistance program may give you Actemra free or nearly free, if your income is under its limit.
We show both programs, and the real income limits, below. Or read the full copay card vs patient assistance guide

Does Medicare cover Actemra?
Medicare coverage for Actemra depends on your own plan: depending on how it is given, a drug can fall under Part B (administered in a clinic) or Part D (filled at a pharmacy), and each plan decides what it covers. Your plan's documents or Medicare's plan finder are the only reliable check. Separate from coverage, none of the Actemra assistance programs we track currently accept Medicare patients.
Is there an Actemra copay card or coupon, and who can use it?
Yes - the ACTEMRA Co-pay Program from Genentech, Inc. (Roche). Eligible patients pay as little as $0 per treatment. It works for patients with commercial (private) insurance. Patients on Medicare or Medicaid cannot use the card itself. If you searched for an Actemra coupon, this manufacturer card is the official version of it.

Is the Actemra patient support program the same thing as patient assistance?
