DUPIXENT MyWay® PROGRAM

Transcript

If you've just been prescribed DUPIXENT® (dupilumab), you're probably excited to start treatment, and you may have questions about how to fill your prescription.

Hi! I'm Kalli, and I'm here to teach you about filling your DUPIXENT prescription so you can get started with treatment as soon as possible.

DUPIXENT MyWay is our Patient Support Program to assist you along your DUPIXENT journey. Although you do not have to enroll to receive DUPIXENT, by enrolling, you will have access to Case Managers, your dedicated single point of contact.

You also have access to our Nurse Educators.

They are trained to provide caregivers and patients like you with supplemental injection training either online, over the phone, or in person.

Now that I've introduced our Support Team, let's talk about getting your prescription filled.

Step 1 begins when your doctor writes your first prescription for DUPIXENT.

This is a great time to enroll in DUPIXENT MyWay and start learning about what is offered. Once you've enrolled, a Case Manager will reach out to welcome you via phone or email. When speaking via phone, your Case Manager can help you access the DUPIXENT MyWay Patient App.

Case Managers are here to help you get started—so it's very important for you to take their call.

They can explain your insurance benefits, help with financial assistance options, and confirm your eligibility for the DUPIXENT MyWay Copay Card, which may help cover out-of-pocket costs* for DUPIXENT.

When requested by your provider, the Case Manager can work with you, your doctor's office, your insurance provider, and the specialty pharmacy once they receive your prescription.

And, the Case Manager can connect you with a Nurse Educator, send you essentials like a needle disposal kit, help you access a Starter Kit, and call to remind you about your refills and injections.

Which brings us to Step 2: Getting Insurance Approval.

During this step, your doctor's office or one of our Case Managers will work to verify your benefits and help to get your prescription covered by your insurance.

In some cases, your insurance may require additional information from your doctor, known as a prior authorization, before they can cover DUPIXENT.

This may take more time than you are used to, but it is a very common step for specialty medicines like DUPIXENT, which are often distributed through a specialty pharmacy.

Some insurance companies also have step therapy programs.

Step therapy is a type of prior authorization that requires patients to first try a lower-cost medication before they "step up" and get coverage for a specialty medication like DUPIXENT.

If you have questions about your coverage, call our Case Managers. They can check your eligibility, confirm your out-of-pocket costs, and discuss possible financial assistance options that can help.

And now for the final step: Receiving DUPIXENT from a specialty pharmacy.

If your prescription for DUPIXENT is approved by your insurance company, a specialty pharmacy will call you to either schedule delivery to your preferred location or with details on when it will be available for pick-up.

It is very important to take calls from your specialty pharmacy, especially if your DUPIXENT prescription is being delivered to you. The specialty pharmacy will not deliver DUPIXENT until you have spoken to them and agreed on a delivery date and time.

Here's a helpful tip: Add the specialty pharmacy's number to your contacts in your phone.

That way, you'll be able to recognize them when they call.

Due to the steps involved, it may take a month or more to receive your first DUPIXENT prescription. But remember everyone is working together to get your prescription to you as quickly as possible.

Once received, it is important to know that DUPIXENT has specific storage and handling requirements. Be sure to follow any instructions that come with DUPIXENT, and call a Case Manager with any questions.

When you receive your DUPIXENT prescription, your provider may instruct you to bring it to your next appointment, where they'll administer your first dose.

Your doctor will show you the right way to prepare and inject DUPIXENT so you can feel more comfortable giving it to yourself or to your loved one.

Additional injection training support is available any time.

Our Case Managers can connect you with a Nurse Educator to set up an appointment for in-person or virtual supplemental injection training. You can also watch our in-depth training videos on DUPIXENT.com or the DUPIXENT YouTube channel.

That's it! Now you know what to expect before and after DUPIXENT is delivered to you.

If you're curious about what life might be like with DUPIXENT, check out our DUPIXENT MyWay Mentor Program.

Our Mentors are real DUPIXENT patients or caregivers of DUPIXENT patients living with your condition who can share their experience and answer questions you may have as you start treatment.

If you're interested in signing up to speak to a Mentor, fill out a brief enrollment form.
