Not sure which kind of help you qualify for?

Jakafi 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 Jakafi 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

Jakafi assistance, answered plainly

Is there a Jakafi patient assistance program?

Yes. Incyte Corporation runs the IncyteCARES Patient Assistance Program - Jakafi, which provides Jakafi free of charge to eligible patients. Household income generally needs to be at or below 500% of the federal poverty level. The full rules and the official application link are in the program list above.

Does Medicare cover Jakafi?

Medicare coverage for Jakafi 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 Jakafi assistance programs we track currently accept Medicare patients.

Is there a Jakafi copay card or coupon, and who can use it?

Yes - the IncyteCARES Copay/Coinsurance Program - Jakafi from Incyte Corporation. Eligible patients pay as little as $0 per month. It works for patients with commercial (private) insurance. Patients on Medicare or Medicaid cannot use the card itself. If you searched for a Jakafi coupon, this manufacturer card is the official version of it.

How much does Jakafi cost without insurance?

Without insurance or assistance, Jakafi typically costs around $16,000 per month in the US. The IncyteCARES Patient Assistance Program - Jakafi above can bring that down substantially for eligible patients - use the calculator to check your situation.

Where do I find the Jakafi patient assistance application form?

The official application form for the IncyteCARES Patient Assistance Program - Jakafi is on incytecares.com - the application links on this page go straight to the program's own form. Some programs call it an enrollment form; it is the same document. Applying is always free; never pay a third-party service to file a patient assistance form for you.

Does Jakafi assistance work if I am on Medicare or Medicaid?

None of the Jakafi programs we track currently accept Medicare or Medicaid. If that changes, we will update this page.

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

Manufacturers like Incyte Corporation use "patient support program" as an umbrella term for nurse lines, insurance navigation, and financial help. The financial help is what we track here - for Jakafi that is the IncyteCARES Patient Assistance Program - Jakafi. The support phone line is listed on the official program site linked above.
