The MARGENZA Copay Assistance Program for commercially insured eligible patients
If you have health insurance that is not provided by your state or the federal government—from a job (yours, your spouse’s, or your parent’s) or from a healthcare exchange—then you most likely have what’s called commercial insurance.
Here’s how it works: If you are left with a remaining cost after meeting your policy’s copay, the program will pay for the entirety of your remaining cost share, including coinsurance and copays for MARGENZA, up to a maximum of $26,000 during a 12-month period for eligible patients.
Don’t have commercial insurance? We offer a Patient Assistance Program and referrals to Independent Foundations.
The MARGENZA Patient Assistance Program
Patients who meet financial eligibility and other requirements can receive a free year’s supply of MARGENZA.
Independent foundations
Please call MARGENZA Patient Support at 1-844-MED-MGNX (1-844-633-6469) and we can provide a list of independent/third-party foundations that provide funding for cancer patients with financial hardships.
These independent foundations and charities can provide various forms of assistance to patients who qualify under their rules. These foundations are not associated with MacroGenics.
Although we cannot provide information about a foundation’s funding availability, enrollment process, or eligibility guidelines, this information is available from each organization.
