Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) runs two of the six: the CarePath Savings Program, open today at $5 a dose with a yearly cap that is not published on current terms (last published $20,000 a year), and the Patient Assistance Foundation, closed as of June 14, 2026. The other four shown are foundation funds. HealthWell's ANCA-Associated Vasculitis fund has a $6,000 maximum but doesn't match either of Stelara's approved indications; three more funds could apply (TotalAssist's Psoriasis fund, HealthWell's AutoImmune - Medicare Access fund, and TotalAssist's Ulcerative Colitis fund): check each fund's current status on the funds list.

Which form this covers: The card pays for the drug only, not the infusion visit. The IV induction doses for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are clinic-billed. The SC doses and psoriasis use are mostly self-injected through the pharmacy.

Commercial insurance: The Janssen CarePath Savings Program is Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)'s commercial copay card. Eligible patients pay $5 per dose, with a yearly cap that is not published on current terms (last published $20,000 a year). A Stelara claim carries two lines, the drug (J3358 billed at 390 units for the 390 mg induction dose, the worked example on these pages) and the 96365 infusion administration, and the program applies to the drug line only; the infusion charge is billed and collected separately. View current program ↑
The Janssen CarePath Savings Program covers the Stelara drug charge only, not the 96365 infusion administration fee, and it excludes Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, and other government insurance outright.
Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE: Manufacturer copay savings cannot apply once government insurance pays for Stelara, per the federal Anti-Kickback Statute guidance that also keeps the Janssen CarePath Savings Program from covering them. The alternative is a foundation fund: HealthWell's AutoImmune – Medicare Access fund (up to $2,800 a year) covers a Medicare patient, and TotalAssist's Ulcerative Colitis fund (up to $3,000 a year) extends to Medicaid and TRICARE patients with that diagnosis — both closed as of September 7, 2026. After the $283 Part B deductible, a Medicare patient's 20% coinsurance on the 390 mg induction dose is $812.85 — $799.42 on the drug line and $13.43 on administration — against $4,064.25 Medicare allows ($3,997.11 drug plus $67.14 administration).

Why the vasculitis fund doesn't apply: HealthWell's ANCA-Associated Vasculitis fund also lists J3358 with a $6,000 annual maximum, but its diagnosis requirement is ANCA-associated vasculitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis, not Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It does not apply to a Stelara patient. Check today's status ↑
Uninsured: The Patient Assistance Foundation is the one program on file for an uninsured Stelara patient, and it has been closed as of June 14, 2026. No other manufacturer program or foundation fund on file accepts an uninsured patient; every foundation fund reachable through J3358 requires Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE — or, for the vasculitis and psoriasis funds, a diagnosis Stelara IV does not treat.
Diagnosis and program count: Either diagnosis shows the same four programs: the Janssen CarePath Savings Program, the closed Patient Assistance Foundation, HealthWell's AutoImmune – Medicare Access fund and TotalAssist's Ulcerative Colitis fund (both list Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis codes). On a commercial plan only the two Janssen programs remain, because the AutoImmune fund is for Medicare patients and the Ulcerative Colitis fund for Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE patients, and both were closed as of September 7, 2026.

Yes. The Janssen CarePath Savings Program is Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)'s commercial copay card: eligible patients pay $5 per dose, with a yearly cap that is not published on current terms (last published $20,000 a year). It covers the Stelara drug charge only and excludes Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, and other government insurance. Apply on jnjwithme.com ↗ Calculate cost with the program →
No. The program applies to the drug line only, J3358 billed at 390 units for the 390 mg induction dose. The 96365 infusion charge is billed separately, and the program does not pay it. View current program ↑
Not directly from Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). The Janssen CarePath Savings Program excludes Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, and other government insurance outright. Two foundation funds cover ustekinumab for the right diagnosis and insurance combination — HealthWell's AutoImmune – Medicare Access fund for Medicare patients and TotalAssist's Ulcerative Colitis fund for Medicare, Medicaid or TRICARE patients — but both were closed as of September 7, 2026.

Four of the funds tied to Stelara's J-code are shown here (two atopic-dermatitis and eczema funds that also list J3358 are omitted; neither is a Stelara IV indication). HealthWell's ANCA-Associated Vasculitis fund has a $6,000 annual maximum, but its diagnosis requirement doesn't match either of Stelara's approved indications. The other three are TotalAssist's Psoriasis fund (up to $2,500), HealthWell's AutoImmune - Medicare Access fund (up to $2,800), and TotalAssist's Ulcerative Colitis fund (up to $3,000); check each fund's current status on the funds list.

No. HealthWell's ANCA-Associated Vasculitis fund lists J3358 with a $6,000 annual maximum, but its diagnosis requirement is ANCA-associated vasculitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Neither of Stelara's FDA-approved indications qualifies.
The Janssen CarePath Savings Program reduces what a patient owes on an approved, paid J3358 claim; it does not apply to a denied claim. The denial has to be resolved through the payer's appeal or reconsideration process before the program has anything to apply to.
Stelara shares its class with Entyvio (IV) (J3380, Takeda), Skyrizi (IV induction) (J2327, AbbVie), Remicade (J1745, Janssen), billed under their own codes with their own manufacturer programs. The programs above apply to Stelara 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.
