How to Apply for Assistance
Prior to an application being completed, patients should call 1-866-896-5674 to complete an eligibility prescreening. The purpose of the prescreening is to help the patient understand if she may be eligible for Radius Assist by discussing the eligibility criteria including income verification. For applicants who do not meet the eligibility requirements, additional information on alternative options may be provided.
Note: A healthcare professional or an office representative may conduct a prescreening call on behalf of his/her patient.
If the patient meets the requirements based on the prescreening, an application prepopulated with demographic information will be mailed to her for review and signature. The prescriber must complete section 6 and 7 of the application as well. Both sections are required for an application to be considered complete.
Although a phone pre-screening is not a required step in the application process, we strongly encourage the use of this tool as it streamlines the patient application and decision processes. If the patient chooses not to complete a prescreening, they may download an application from the link below. Directions on how to submit are stated on page 1 of the application.
To submit, follow the instructions on page 1 of the application.
Once the application is submitted, the healthcare professional will receive a confirmation fax when Radius Assist is in receipt of the application. If information is missing, the Radius Assist team will reach out to the healthcare professional and/or the patient to obtain this. As a reminder, all information is required in order for Radius Assist to make a determination on eligibility.
If the application is approved, the healthcare professional will receive notification via fax and the patient will be notified via mail. The patient will then be contacted by the specialty pharmacy providing medication for Radius Assist patients, Nufactor, Inc., to coordinate medication shipment.
*Patients can receive up to, but not exceeding, 18 months of total TYMLOS therapy from Radius Assist. Radius Assist will discontinue providing therapy once the patient’s cumulative lifetime use of TYMLOS and/or other parathyroid hormone analogs (e.g., teriparatide) has reached 24 months. Cumulative use of TYMLOS and parathyroid hormone analogs (e.g., teriparatide) for more than 2 years during a patient’s lifetime is not recommended.
