How does Entyvio copay assistance work?
Entyvio copay assistance is offered through the EntyvioConnect Co-pay Program. You may pay as little as $5 per dose if you have commercial insurance, up to a maximum benefit of $20,000 per year. EntyvioConnect offers savings regardless of your insurance coverage or if you use the Entyvio IV infusion or pen.
Commercial insurance is the type that is typically offered through your workplace or that you may have purchased on the Health Insurance Marketplace.
The copay program does not offer support to help give you medications, such as costs you may encounter for medicine administration at a clinic. It only pays for the cost of the drug.
EntyvioConnect is a patient support program from Takeda to help people in the US, Puerto Rico and other US territories. It offers a co-pay program which can help you save on out-of-pocket copay costs, offers nurse support, and provides useful tips to help you manage your condition.
In addition, financial and insurance experts can help you review your insurance coverage and determine if you are eligible for the Entyvio Co-Pay Program.
To learn if you are eligible, you can sign up online at Entyvio.com or call 1-844-ENTYVIO (1-844-368-9846).
These terms may change if your insurance company has implemented a co-pay maximizer program or similar program, in which you would be eligible for a maximum annual benefit of $9,000 per year.
Notify EntyvioConnect at 1-844-368-9846 if your health plan changes.

Can I get Entyvio copay assistance if I am on Medicare?
If you receive Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE, representatives from the EntyvioConnect Co-pay Program can review your eligibility and explain your benefits.
Call 1-844-ENTYVIO (1-844-368-9846) to discuss your options.
The EntyvioConnect Co-pay Program cannot be used by people who have any federal, state or government-sponsored insurance such as Medicare, Medicare Part D, Medigap, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, TRICARE, DoD or Veterans Administration, including a state pharmaceutical assistance program.
You are also not eligible if you are in the Medicare Part D coverage gap (“donut hole”) or if insurance fully pays for your prescription costs. Note that the Part D coverage gap will end on Dec. 31, 2024. Instead, in 2025 there will be a $2,000 maximum out-of-pocket cost for prescription drugs through Medicare Part D.
If you do not have health or prescription insurance or you have government-sponsored insurance, you may still have options for financial assistance. Call the EntyvioConnect representatives at 1-844-ENTYVIO (1-844-368-9846).

Why is Entyvio prescribed?
Entyvio (vedolizumab) is approved by the FDA to treat ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease to help improve your symptoms, induce remission, possibly lower the need for steroid medicines to control long-term symptoms.
Entyvio is a selective immunosuppressant that works to control inflammation by preventing too many white blood cells from entering your GI tract (intestine). Entyvio works selectively in the gut to decrease inflammation and does not usually lead to system-wide immunosuppression.
