Your transplant gave you a second chance, but keeping that new organ means taking immunosuppressants for life. Your transplant team prescribed CellCept to prevent rejection, warning that missing doses could trigger your immune system to attack the transplanted organ. The medication works, keeping rejection at bay, but when you saw the monthly cost, you wondered how you’d sustain this protection long-term on your income.
Our team at The Rx Advocates connects transplant recipients to Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that provide CellCept based on what you earn instead of retail pharmacy pricing.
What is the CellCept Patient Assistance Program?
Drug companies run assistance programs for transplant patients who can’t afford immunosuppressants at full price. People who get approved receive CellCept at much lower costs, making sure financial problems don’t force anyone to stop treatment.
You’ll provide your prescription and income documents. Our team takes it from there: we put together your application, work with your transplant team to get the paperwork done, send everything to the manufacturer, and keep track of your approval status. Once you’re approved, CellCept gets shipped to your home every month.
We’re a patient advocacy service that connects transplant recipients to manufacturer programs. These programs price medications based on what you can afford instead of standard pharmacy prices.
How to Qualify
Applications get evaluated using multiple standards. Approval is more likely when meeting these conditions:
- Solo applicants making under $40,000 per year
- Married couples with joint earnings under $60,000 annually
- Multi-person families bringing in less than $100,000 yearly
- Active prescription issued by state-licensed physician
However, it’s important to note that meeting these standards doesn’t equal automatic acceptance. Pharmaceutical companies apply additional criteria specific to their individual programs. Call us right away to see if you qualify.

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce CellCept Costs
Monthly charges to our service stay the same even if CellCept retail prices go up. Your cost is based only on how many medications you need help with.
Transplant patients require lifelong immunosuppression without interruption. We built our service for patients dealing with insurance problems: plans that exclude transplant medications, deductibles too high to meet, or jobs that don’t offer health insurance.
We don’t work with coupons. We specialize in handling enrollment for manufacturer programs that provide ongoing medication access at prices far below what pharmacies charge.

Why Patient Assistance Programs Beat Coupons
Coupons offer temporary relief. Patient assistance programs provide lasting solutions.
Coupon limitations
- Pharmacy restrictions: Only work at certain stores
- Copay accumulators: Don’t count toward your deductible
- Expiration dates: Stop working after short windows
- Coverage gaps: Don’t help enough with expensive medications
- Redemption requirements: Must bring physical coupon to pharmacy
PAP advantages
- Substantial savings: Much bigger discounts than coupons provide
- Reliable access: Medications arrive automatically each month
- Predictable costs: Your fee stays the same no matter what
- Convenient delivery: Shipped straight to your door
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about CellCept and patient assistance programs.
With The Rx Advocates, patients pay a fixed monthly service fee, which depends on the number of medications covered.
- 1 Medication (CellCept only) – $80 per month
- 2 Medications (CellCept + 1 other) – $90 per month
- 3 Medications (CellCept + 2 others) – $100 per month
- 4+ Medications – $110 per month
Importantly, there are no hidden fees, and prices remain consistent even if retail costs fluctuate.
Without a patient assistance program, CellCept costs more than most transplant patients can manage on their own. What you pay at the pharmacy depends on several things you can’t control.
Your final cost depends on:
- Dosage: What strength your doctor prescribes and how much you need
- Location: Where you live affects drug pricing
- Pharmacy: Different stores charge different amounts
- Insurance Coverage: What your plan covers determines what you pay
Two people taking the same CellCept prescription might pay totally different amounts based on their pharmacy, location, and insurance.
Most patients meet the requirements when annual household income stays below $40k for individuals, $60k for couples, or $100k for larger families. Since manufacturer requirements can differ, The Rx Advocates assess each case individually to determine eligibility.
The Rx Advocates manage enrollment and monthly refills, coordinating all necessary paperwork with your prescribing physician, submitting completed applications to manufacturers, and arranging medication deliveries to prevent treatment interruptions.
About CellCept
CellCept contains mycophenolate mofetil, an immunosuppressant used to prevent organ rejection in kidney, heart, and liver transplant patients.
How it works: Mycophenolate mofetil suppresses your immune system to stop it from attacking the transplanted organ. It blocks the growth of certain immune cells that would otherwise recognize the new organ as foreign.
Administration: Taken as capsules or tablets twice daily on an empty stomach. Also available as oral suspension or IV injection. Don’t switch between different forms without doctor approval.
Side effects:
- Common: Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, infections
- Serious: Increased infection risk, increased cancer risk, blood disorders, birth defects
Important warnings: CellCept weakens your immune system, increasing infection and cancer risk. Contact your doctor immediately for fever or signs of infection. Causes birth defects and pregnancy loss. Women must use effective birth control during treatment and for six weeks after stopping.
Get Started Today
Organ rejection means losing your transplant and returning to dialysis or the transplant waiting list. Missing CellCept doses puts your transplanted organ at immediate risk. The health consequences and costs of rejection far exceed the medication expense.
Drug companies created these programs because they know transplant patients face overwhelming lifetime medication costs.
