Is Rinvoq covered by insurance?
Rinvoq insurance coverage varies by insurance company. However, 99% of commercial insurance plans or Medicare Part D formularies cover Rinvoq if another type of drug, called a TNF inhibitor, has been tried first. Coverage may require that Rinvoq be supplied by a specialty pharmacy, and other approval restrictions may apply.
Many Medicaid plans include Rinvoq in their prescription drug coverage, but it varies by state.
The out-of-pocket cost with insurance depends on the copay tier assigned to the drug by the insurance company, as well as other factors such as deductibles. Some insurance companies put Rinvoq in their lower copay tiers, but many place it in their highest copay or coinsurance tiers, including their specialty tier. In those cases, the out-of-pocket cost may be very high without copay assistance from the manufacturer.

How to get Rinvoq covered by insurance
If your health insurance plan does not cover Rinvoq, call the insurance provider and ask about a formulary exception. Insurance companies sometimes approve drugs that aren’t in their formulary if there’s a compelling medical reason for the prescription. The doctor must fill out paperwork explaining why Rinvoq is needed and why other drugs won’t work.
Even if Rinvoq is listed as a covered drug, the insurance company may still decline to pay for the prescription. If the coverage is denied, check the drug’s FDA prescribing information. Make sure the disease for which it’s prescribed is listed in the FDA-approved indications. Check the insurance company’s formulary for special instructions such as prior authorization, step therapy, or quantity limits. These important steps may need to be completed or addressed before coverage is approved.
