Based on your selection, we've created this guide to explain the alternate injection/infusion center process
Our alternate injection/infusion center locator tool can help you find a center for your patient.
This tool allows you to enter the patient's ZIP Code to identify potential sites for referral.
Contact the alternate injection/infusion center
Once a center has been identified, contact them to confirm they offer LEQVIO. Make sure to ask about their referral process and order form requirements.
Complete the referral steps required by the center
Ensure your patient's information is sent in a format that is compatible with the center's process. This includes the completed order form, along with the patient's medical history as well as chart notes. Documentation supporting the patient's diagnosis and previous treatments that have been tried and failed is also helpful for insurance coverage purposes.
Alternate injection/infusion center completes a benefits investigation and enrolls your patient in relevant LEQVIO services
Once the center receives the information, they will complete a benefits verification. The site can connect directly with the Service Center for additional support like LEQVIO Co-pay Program enrollment.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Benefits verification
The Service Center will verify your patient's insurance coverage. Upon completion, the Service Center will send you a Statement of Benefit with the outcome.
Based on the results, the Service Center will determine if patients with commercial insurance qualify for our Bridge Program while pursuing coverage.
To qualify, patients must have commercial insurance, a valid prescription for LEQVIO®, and either a prior authorization pending for greater than 3 days with the insurance company or a denial of insurance coverage based on a prior authorization request. Patients are eligible for 2 (two) doses of LEQVIO under the Bridge Program.*
In addition, if uninsured or underinsured patients have expressed financial hardship, the Service Center can help connect them with the Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation to determine eligibility.
Prior authorization and appeals support
If your patient's coverage requires prior authorization, the Service Center can confirm the requirements and provide education around the specific plan processes. If a prior authorization is denied, the Service Center can provide education and resources to help support you during the appeal process.
Please note: While we can pre-populate patient demographic information on the required forms, we cannot complete the required medical information on your behalf or submit the form. Additionally, we can follow up with the plan on the status of your submission and communicate next steps.
Product acquisition information and resources
LEQVIO® can be ordered through our authorized distributors. The Service Center can provide you with a list of authorized distributors and can connect you with a Field Reimbursement Manager in your area to assist with this process.
Co-pay support
Eligible, commercially insured patients may pay as little as $0 for each LEQVIO treatment. Limitations apply. Subject to terms and conditions.† If a patient meets the eligibility criteria, the Service Center will provide you and the patient with the co-pay card information as well as instructions on how to submit for reimbursement.
Billing and coding support
The Service Center has educational resources and information about the importance of proper coding for reimbursement, specific guidance around HCPCS codes, CPT codes, NDC codes, ICD-10 codes, sample claim forms, and a claim filing checklist.
