AFFORDABILITY & ACCESS Patients who need help affording or accessing their medication may be able to get assistance from Gateway to NUCALA.
The NUCALA Co-pay Program
The NUCALA Co-pay Program helps eligible approved patients with their out-of-pocket costs for NUCALA up to $15,000 for 12 months. If approved, patients could pay as little as $0 for NUCALA.
Patients in government-funded programs (eg, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, or TRICARE) are not eligible for the NUCALA Co-pay Program. Medicare-eligible patients who are enrolled in certain retiree drug benefit plans are also ineligible for the Co-pay Program (Most patients become eligible for Medicare when they reach age 65).
Patients must submit an Enrollment Form or complete eligibility check online at NUCALACopayProgram.com so their eligibility can be determined.

REIMBURSEMENT Billing and Coding Support
Physician office
Gateway to NUCALA can provide information about relevant codes for NUCALA, including product codes, procedure codes, NDC numbers, and revenue codes.
Hospital outpatient department
As with coding for services performed in the physician’s office, coding preferences and requirements in the hospital outpatient setting are dependent on payer type and plan type. Gateway to NUCALA can help identify coding requirements in both settings.
Appeals research support
If a patient is denied coverage for NUCALA, Gateway to NUCALA is available to research instances of coverage denial and identify steps practices can take to appeal claims. Gateway to NUCALA cannot author appeal letters on behalf of physicians. See sample letter of appeal below.
Sample forms and letters
When NUCALA is accessed throughout the patient treatment journey, a practice or hospital outpatient department may encounter the need for information on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Claim Forms 1500 and 1450, as well as appeal letters and letters of medical necessity. Details and examples of each are provided below.
