Commercial insurance: The Kisunla Savings Card Program is Eli Lilly's commercial copay card. Eligible patients pay $0 for the drug, up to $9,450 a year. A Kisunla claim carries two lines, the drug (J0175 billed at 700 units for the 1,400 mg maintenance dose) and the 96365 infusion administration, and the card applies to the drug line only; the infusion charge is billed and collected separately. It excludes Medicare, Medicaid, and other government insurance. View current program ↑
Uninsured: Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance ships Kisunla free to eligible uninsured patients on income-based eligibility. The shipment is the drug alone; the infusion charge still goes on the patient's bill.
Medicare: Manufacturer copay savings cannot be used when government insurance is paying for Kisunla; the federal Anti-Kickback Statute is why, per HHS OIG guidance on copayment coupons, and it is also why the Kisunla Savings Card Program excludes Medicare outright; Lilly Cares is not a fallback either, since its eligibility is limited to uninsured patients. What is available instead is Medigap, which caps the Part B coinsurance under Plan K or Plan L, and Medicaid dual eligibility. On the 1,400 mg maintenance dose, a Medicare patient's 20% coinsurance is $599.33 on the $2,996.64 Medicare allows ($585.90 drug plus $13.43 infusion), and no manufacturer program reduces it. Coverage runs under NCD 200.3, coverage with evidence development: the prescriber enrolls the patient in a CMS-approved registry (ALZ-NET is the most used), a coverage condition, not an assistance program. No foundation fund is on file for either indication. See Medigap out-of-pocket by plan →
Why the diagnosis selector doesn't change the result: Neither Kisunla program is diagnosis-gated. Eligibility runs on the patient's insurance status, not on whether the diagnosis is mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (G31.84) or mild Alzheimer's disease dementia (G30.9); both qualify the same way for whichever program matches the patient's insurance.

No. The card applies to the drug line only, J0175 billed at 700 units at the 1,400 mg maintenance dose. The 96365 infusion charge is billed separately, and neither Lilly program pays it. View current program ↑
Not through Lilly. The Kisunla Savings Card Program excludes Medicare and Medicaid outright; Lilly Cares is limited to uninsured patients. A Medicare patient's route to lower cost is Medigap or Medicaid dual eligibility. Coverage runs under NCD 200.3, coverage with evidence development: the prescriber enrolls in a CMS-approved registry (ALZ-NET is the most used), a coverage condition, not an assistance program.

The Kisunla Savings Card Program reduces what a patient owes on an approved, paid claim; it does not apply to a denied claim. The denial has to be resolved through the payer's appeal or reconsideration process before either Lilly program has anything to apply to.
Kisunla shares its class with Leqembi (J0174, Eisai / Biogen), billed under its own code with its own manufacturer programs. The programs above apply to Kisunla only. If the payer requires the other product instead, use that manufacturer’s program below.
Each card is the program record on file, verified on the date it shows. None of them pays the administration line.
