Your monthly Privigen cost savings if eligible

The Privigen patient assistance program can provide your medication for free. We simply charge $49 per month for each medication to cover the cost of our services. With NiceRx, you will only pay $49 to obtain your Privigen, regardless of the retail price.

Am I eligible for the Privigen patient assistance program?

To find out if you are eligible for Privigen assistance you can apply online using our enrollment application. Each pharmaceutical company sets its eligibility criteria, and we will review your application individually to determine if you may be eligible. The three main factors to consider 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 the Privigen patient assistance program?

Our application process aims to make it as easy as possible to apply for the Privigen patient assistance program. The first step is to complete our online enrollment application. We will ask you for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income as this information is required by the pharmaceutical companies. We may be able to help you apply for other patient assistance programs too, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Privigen.

NiceRx will review your application and determine whether you may be eligible for Privigen assistance. If so, we will handle the full enrollment process for you and prepare all required documents for your healthcare provider to sign. Once you are successfully enrolled in the Privigen patient assistance program, we will help you manage your prescription refills by requesting refills on your behalf throughout your enrollment period. At the end of your enrollment period, we will contact you for updated information and seek to re-enroll you so you can continue to access affordable Privigen.

What is Privigen?

Privigen is an Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Liquid indicated for the treatment of:

  • Primary humoral immunodeficiency
  • Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in patients age 15 years and older to increase platelet counts
  • Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in adults. Maintenance therapy in CIDP has not been studied past 6 months
  • Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin products 1-3, including Privigen. Risk factors may include – advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling central vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors
  • Renal dysfunction, acute renal failure, osmotic nephrosis, and death may occur with immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) products in predisposed patients. Patients predisposed to renal dysfunction include those with any degree of pre-existing renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, age greater than 65, volume depletion, sepsis, paraproteinemia, or patients receiving known nephrotoxic drugs
  • Renal dysfunction and acute renal failure occur more commonly in patients receiving IGIV products containing sucrose. Privigen does not contain sucrose.
  • For patients at risk of thrombosis, renal dysfunction, or failure, administer Privigen at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity
