Not sure which kind of help you qualify for?

Otezla 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 Otezla free or nearly free, if your income is under its limit.
  • On Medicare? The copay card won’t work, but Otezla’s patient assistance program still does - plus federal Extra Help.

We show both programs, and the real income limits, below. Or read the full copay card vs patient assistance guide
