Natalizumab Key Facts
What dosages is Natalizumab available in?
Natalizumab is available as a 300 mg/15 mL (20 mg/mL) solution in a single-dose vial for dilution prior to infusion.
What is Natalizumab used for?
Natalizumab is a type of monoclonal antibody that treats relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease (CD) in adults.

Natalizumab is an integrin antagonist. It’s not completely understood how Natalizumab works. But it’s thought to work by attaching to a protein on immune cells called integrin. As a consequence, it blocks signals in your body that cause inflammation. This helps block inflammation from affecting your nerves (for MS) or your gut (for CD).

If you have Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage and none of the Natalizumab savings options are applicable or affordable for me, what can you do?
If you are insured with Medicare and the Natalizumab drug savings options are not applicable to you and still remain unaffordable, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.
The government site is easy to use and after you have selected your state, it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. State Medicaid programs may cover the full cost of your medication.
People who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid are called ‘dual eligibles’.
If you are denied Medicaid for Natalizumab, and you are still unable to afford your copay or co-insurance element (for example if you are in the coverage gap or Donut Hole) then you may be eligible for a federal support program like Low Income Subsidy. To be eligible for Low Income Subsidy, you need to be a resident in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia. You can check eligibility online at SSA Medicare D Extra Help. You can also call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
I am uninsured or underinsured and none of the Natalizumab prescription saving options are applicable or affordable for me, what can I do?
If you are uninsured or underinsured (for example, Natalizumab is not covered by your plan) and the drug savings options are not applicable or still unaffordable, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.
The government site is easy to use and you can select your state and it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. State Medicaid programs may cover the full cost of your medication.
If you are denied and all else fails, and if you have been prescribed Natalizumab for an FDA-approved indication, you can call the pharmaceutical company to see if they have any other assistance programs.
I am commercially or privately insured and none of the Natalizumab prescription saving options are applicable or affordable for me, what can I do?
If your medication is not covered by your plan, you can appeal your insurance company’s decision. Sometimes, a formal appeal can result in the drug being covered if it is deemed medically necessary.
If you cannot afford your copay contribution, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.
However, being privately insured might complicate your eligibility for Medicaid, as having private insurance may be considered in the financial eligibility assessment.
The government site is easy to use and you can select your state and it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. If you qualify, state Medicaid may cover the full cost of your medication.
