Yervoy is a prescription drug used to treat melanoma, and it can be quite expensive. Fortunately, there are financial assistance programs available to help patients afford this medication. Bristol-Myers Squibb, the manufacturer of Yervoy, offers co-pay and financial assistance programs to eligible patients who meet certain criteria [2]. The program can help patients pay for out-of-pocket costs associated with their medication, including co-pays, deductibles, and coinsurance [2]. To be eligible, patients must have commercial insurance, meet certain income requirements, and reside in the United States or Puerto Rico [2]. Patients can apply for the program online or by phone [2].

It is important to note that financial assistance programs may change or be discontinued, so patients should check with the manufacturer or their healthcare provider for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, patients may want to explore other options for financial assistance, such as patient assistance programs offered by nonprofit organizations or state-based programs [3].
