This program is not available to individuals who use any state or federal government-subsidized healthcare program to cover a portion of medication costs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, Department of Defense, or Veterans Administration or any other federal or state healthcare plan, including pharmaceutical assistance programs.
*Program year runs March 1-February 28.
†After enrollment, Janssen CarePath conducts quarterly re-verification for TREMFYA® patients but only contacts you and your patients if insurance coverage changes. The annual re-verification is different from the quarterly re-verification that happens upon enrollment. You and/or your patient(s) may be required to confirm/update insurance information. This annual re-verification is comprehensive and requires patient and HCP to confirm insurance status and requires the HCP to submit a new prior authorization form and other documentation. Patients who begin participation in the program during the months of November or December will be approved through the following calendar year and will not go through the re-verification process.

Applicants in November or December who are approved will be covered through the following year if insurance coverage continues to be delayed (>5 days) or denied.
