Getting Started with Ventavis

Ventavis for the treatment of NYHA Class III & IV PAH
Why is Ventavis prescribed for the treatment of PAH? Because it's the only inhaled PAH therapy that can be given alone to help patients improve PAH symptoms. It can also be safely used with many other drugs. And, Ventavis has been shown to help patients1*:
- Improve PAH symptoms (NYHA Class)
- Walk farther in a timed test
- Decrease the worsening of PAH
Getting your Ventavis prescription
Your Ventavis prescription comes with helpful services brought to you by PAH Pathways. PAH Pathways is Actelion’s patient service and support programand your one point of contact for access to answers about Ventavis, insurance coverage and financial assistance for eligible patients.
Your specialty pharmacy
Ventavis is only supplied through specialty pharmacies, so you can’t get it at your local neighborhood pharmacy. You can call PAH Pathways at 1-866-ACTELION (228-3546) for questions about Ventavis or the I-neb AAD System, or you can call:
- Accredo Therapeutics 1-866-344-4874
- CVS/Caremark 1-877-242-2738
Here’s how it happens
 |
1. |
Your healthcare provider will send your prescription form directly to PAH Pathways. A PAH Pathways Counselor reviews your insurance coverage and contacts a specialty pharmacy. |
 |
 |
2. |
Then, PAH Pathways coordinates communications between the specialty pharmacy, your doctor, and the insurance company to make sure your prescription gets filled as soon as possible. |
 |
 |
3. |
Your specialty pharmacy contacts you to set up a meeting between you and a Ventavis-trained nurse educator. The specialty pharmacy will send your Ventavis prescription and the I-neb AAD System directly to you. Then the nurse educator meets with you at your doctor’s office or your home to show you how to take Ventavis with the I-neb AAD System. |
