Your kidney transplant gave you a second chance at life. The surgery succeeded, but keeping that new kidney functioning requires lifelong immunosuppression. Your transplant team prescribed Myfortic to prevent your body from rejecting the organ, explaining that skipping even a few doses could trigger rejection and cost you the transplant. The medication schedule made sense until you saw what maintaining this protection would cost every month for the rest of your life.
The team at The Rx Advocates connects transplant patients to Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that provide Myfortic based on what you earn rather than pharmacy retail costs.
What is the Myfortic Patient Assistance Program?
Drug manufacturers run financial assistance initiatives for transplant patients who can’t afford immunosuppressant medications at retail prices. Qualifying patients receive Myfortic at dramatically reduced costs, ensuring organ rejection doesn’t happen because medication became unaffordable.
You’ll submit your prescription plus household income documentation. Our staff handles everything after that: building your application, working with your transplant team on required forms, submitting to the manufacturer, and monitoring approval. Once you’re enrolled, Myfortic arrives at your home monthly.
We operate as an advocacy service connecting transplant recipients nationwide with manufacturer programs that adjust medication costs according to financial circumstances rather than market pricing.
How to Qualify
Eligibility is based on several criteria. People qualify if they meet one of the following:
- Singles earning less than $40,000 yearly
- Couples whose combined annual income is less than $60,000
- Larger families with annual income of less than $100,000
- Valid prescription from licensed healthcare provider
Meeting these income guidelines doesn’t guarantee acceptance. Each manufacturer sets its own specific program requirements, which means approval depends on more than just income levels. Reach out to us for an evaluation of your particular situation.
Cost of Myfortic
with The Rx Advocates
The monthly service fee depends on the number of medications you take. For example:
$80 / Month
$90 / Month
$100 / Month
$110 / Month
NOTE: In addition to our monthly service fee, we charge a one-time enrollment fee of $35.
Our service is month-to-month, so if you’re not happy with it, you may cancel at any time.
The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Myfortic Costs
We charge one set monthly fee based on how many medications you need help with. That fee never changes regardless of what happens to Myfortic retail pricing.
Transplant patients require immunosuppression indefinitely, not temporarily. We built our service for people facing insurance obstacles: plans with inadequate prescription coverage, deductibles so high they’re meaningless, or jobs offering no health benefits.
We’re not in the coupon business. We handle enrollment in pharmaceutical company programs that deliver consistent medication access at costs substantially lower than what drugstores charge.

Why Patient Assistance Programs Beat Coupons
Coupons might help once. Assistance programs address the long-term expense problem.
Coupon limitations
- Pharmacy restrictions: Accepted at limited locations
- Copay accumulators: Won’t count toward your deductible
- Expiration dates: Become useless after short periods
- Coverage gaps: Insufficient for expensive immunosuppressants
- Redemption requirements: Must present physically at counter
PAP advantages
- Substantial savings: Reductions far exceeding coupon values
- Reliable access: Medication ships without hunting for deals
- Predictable costs: Fees stay stable despite price changes
- Convenient delivery: Arrives directly at your address
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about Myfortic 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 (Myfortic only) – $80 per month
- 2 Medications (Myfortic + 1 other) – $90 per month
- 3 Medications (Myfortic + 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, Myfortic costs more than most transplant recipients can manage long-term. What you’d pay depends on factors outside your control.
Several variables shape your final prescription cost:
- Dosage: Prescribed strength and daily quantity
- Location: Regional differences in medication pricing
- Pharmacy: Different retailers set different prices
- Insurance Coverage: Your plan determines what you pay out of pocket
Two transplant patients taking identical Myfortic prescriptions can face vastly different costs based solely on their pharmacy choice, where they live, and their insurance coverage.
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 Myfortic
Myfortic is an immunosuppressant medication containing mycophenolic acid used to prevent organ rejection in kidney transplant recipients.
How it works: Mycophenolic acid inhibits an enzyme that certain immune cells need to multiply. By limiting the growth of these cells, Myfortic reduces the immune system’s ability to attack the transplanted kidney while maintaining other immune functions.
Administration: Taken as delayed-release tablets twice daily on an empty stomach. Your transplant team will determine your exact dose based on body weight and other factors. Must be taken consistently as prescribed.
Side effects:
- Common: Nausea, diarrhea, headache, increased infection risk
- Serious: Severe infections, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, increased cancer risk, blood disorders
Important warnings: Myfortic weakens your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections and certain cancers. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop fever, unusual bruising, extreme fatigue, or signs of infection.

Organ rejection means losing your transplant and returning to dialysis or facing the transplant waiting list again. Missing Myfortic doses because of cost concerns puts your transplanted kidney at immediate risk. The complications from rejection and subsequent treatments cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and dramatically reduce life expectancy.
Pharmaceutical companies fund these programs because they understand transplant patients face lifelong medication expenses. The assistance exists specifically for people in your circumstances.
Contact us now to learn if you qualify and begin the process of accessing Myfortic at costs you can sustain long-term.
