COST ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS Paying for Treatment Shouldn’t Get in the Way of Your Health

Whether you have commercial insurance, government insurance, or no insurance, the Amgen By Your Side team is committed to partnering with you to help understand your insurance coverage criteria and all available cost assistance options.

Understanding Your Cost of Infusion and Cost of Treatment

It’s normal to be asking yourself questions like: How much will my treatment cost? How much will each infusion cost? Will my insurance cover these costs?

When receiving TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw), it’s important to know that there is a cost for the medicine itself, and a separate cost for the infusion procedures. Your Patient Access Liaison (PAL) can help you understand the costs associated with treatment and your cost assistance options.
