Vonjo® Patient Assistance Programs at PrescriberPoint


A 2021 survey revealed that pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. dedicate over five billion dollars each year to financial assistance and patient support programs. Despite this significant investment, only about 3% of patients take advantage of these resources. The primary reason appears to be a lack of awareness, with more than 72% of patients reporting they are not well-informed about these support options.

PrescriberPoint provides healthcare providers like yourself with access to a comprehensive suite of patient assistance and education resources. Our primary goal is to enhance the accessibility of these programs, thereby promoting patient awareness and fostering medication adherence. 

In this article, we will provide you with a digital map to uncover the support programs for Vonjo® (pacritinib), an anti-cancer medication used to treat myelofibrosis, which include patient savings programs, patient education, and prior authorization support.

Here are some of the resources available to you:

Patient Savings Programs:

PrescriberPoint provides access to financial assistance programs aimed at reducing out-of-pocket costs associated with Vonjo® for eligible patients. As a healthcare provider, you can access information about these programs and refer your patients to help alleviate financial obstacles that may impede medication adherence.

The CTI Access Program

Patients prescribed Vonjo have access to financial assistance programs, including the CTI Access patient support program. The CTI Access Program is a resource provided by CTI BioPharma, the pharmaceutical company behind Vonjo®.  The CTI Access program caters to patients with commercial or private insurance and, additionally, offers alternative assistance for patients with all insurance types. PrescriberPoint can provide enrollment forms, allowing patients to unlock savings while taking Vonjo®.

Co-pay Assistance

The CTI Access Program is available to provide financial support to eligible patients who are prescribed Vonjo®. Through the program, eligible patients gain access to various financial assistance options aimed at reducing the financial burden associated with Vonjo®. These options may include co-pay assistance, which helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for Vonjo prescriptions. By offering financial support towards co-pays, the program aims to make Vonjo more affordable and accessible for patients.
