How it works

  • Enroll online

    Get started by filling out the online enrollment application to find out if you are eligible for assistance.

  • Pre-qualification

    NiceRx verifies your eligibility for medication assistance and notifies you if you are pre-qualified. The pharmaceutical company provides your medication for free, and you only pay our service fee.

  • Submit documents

    We will request documents to be submitted by you and your healthcare provider that are required by the pharmaceutical company to complete your enrollment.

  • Receive medication

    Once approved, the pharmaceutical company typically ships a 90-day supply of medication to your home or healthcare provider’s address. Final acceptance is determined by the pharmaceutical company.

Your monthly Olumiant cost savings if eligible

If you are eligible for the Olumiant patient assistance program you can get your medication for free. Our monthly flat rate of $49 per medication covers the cost of our services in applying for the program and requesting your ongoing refills on your behalf. If you obtain your Olumiant through NiceRx, you will only pay $49 a month regardless of the retail price of your medication.

Am I eligible for the Olumiant patient assistance program?

You could receive your Olumiant without paying the full retail price if you meet the eligibility criteria for assistance. This criteria is set by the pharmaceutical companies who are providing assistance programs. At NiceRx we review each application individually, although the main factors considered by most programs are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for Olumiant patient assistance?

We do everything that we can to take the hassle and stress out of applying for patient assistance programs. Simply start by filling in our enrollment application. We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical companies you are applying to for assistance. We may also be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications that you have been prescribed, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Olumiant.

NiceRx will review the information you have provided, and if we determine that you may be eligible for assistance, we will seek to enroll you in the Olumiant patient assistance program. We will handle the enrollment process for you by working with your healthcare provider and preparing all the required paperwork for your doctor to sign. We will also request your Olumiant medication refills on your behalf for up to 1 year once you are enrolled in the program.

 

Is NiceRx an Olumiant coupons provider?

At NiceRx, we help eligible individuals access the Olumiant patient assistance program. This means that we are not an Olumiant coupon, an Olumiant discount card, or an Olumiant copay card provider. We do not offer any medication trial offers, or free Olumiant samples.

Can NiceRx help me get Olumiant if I have insurance?

We may be able to help you if you have insurance, including if your insurance company will not pay for your Olumiant medication, or you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. We may even be able to assist if you do not have insurance. Please fill in our enrollment application to find out more.

How much is Olumiant with insurance?

The cost of Olumiant will vary in line with the specific terms of your healthcare plan. For further details about what you may need to pay, your insurance provider or pharmacist will be able to calculate the copay costs with your current insurance.

How much does Olumiant cost without insurance?

Olumiant costs without insurance will vary depending on how much you buy and the retailer you buy it from. As a guide, Olumiant 1 mg tablets will typically cost around $1,500 for 30 tablets. If you obtain your medication through NiceRx, you will pay a flat monthly rate of $49 per medication regardless of its retail price.

What is Olumiant?

Olumiant contains the prescription medicine baricitinib. It is classed as a JAK (Janus kinase) inhibitor, meaning it blocks the action of these specific enzymes in the body. Olumiant is used to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, stiffness, and joint swelling. It also helps to reduce joint and bone damage from getting worse. Olumiant is used where other medication has been tried and failed or you can not tolerate the side effects of the other medication.

Using olumiant in combination with other JAK inhibitors, biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), or with immunosuppressants such as azathioprine and cyclosporine is not advised.

Olumiant active ingredients

Baricitinib blocks the action of Janus kinase (JAK). JAKs are enzymes in cells that help to transmit signals that influence the formation of the components of blood cells and their function as immune cells. The signals originate on the cell membrane surface due to interactions between cytokine and growth-factor receptors. Within this signaling system, JAKs normally chemically activate STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription), which control the activity of the cells. Baricitinib prevents JAKs from activating the STATs. The actual importance of this blocking of the JAK enzyme’s action in relation to baricitinib’s medicinal action is not fully understood.

Baricitinib affects your immune system and you may be more prone to getting infections. Your doctor may want to check you do not have any infections such as tuberculosis before starting your treatment.

Olumiant side effects

The most common side effects caused by Olumiant include:

  • Sign of tear in stomach or intestines – change in bowel habits, ongoing stomach pain
  • Shingles – skin rash or blisters, pain, tingling, numbness

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Olumiant against your risk of side effects.
