The 300 mg intravenous induction is given at an infusion site; we coordinate the transition to subcutaneous maintenance with your gastroenterologist's office.
How much do Stelara and Entyvio cost?
Eligible commercially insured patients enrolled in Janssen CarePath or EntyvioConnect commonly pay a small fixed monthly amount, subject to the manufacturer's eligibility rules and annual maximum. Both list in the thousands of dollars per dose without coverage. Medicare, Medicaid, and other government beneficiaries are excluded from manufacturer copay offers by law and may qualify for patient assistance instead.
Should I switch to a Stelara biosimilar?
That is your prescriber's and your plan's decision, not ours. Many NYC commercial plans now prefer an interchangeable ustekinumab biosimilar. If yours does, we match the strength and dosing interval, enroll you in that product's savings program, and send your prescriber's office the switch documentation the plan requires.
Do you help with prior authorization for these biologics?
We identify the requirement the day the prescription arrives and send your prescriber's office the plan criteria, the correct form, and the documentation we hold. Their office submits the authorization; we track status and follow up. We do not submit authorizations ourselves and cannot guarantee approval.
What are Stelara and Entyvio approved for?
Per FDA labeling, Stelara is approved for plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Entyvio is approved for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Your prescriber decides what is appropriate for you.
How is dosing scheduled for Stelara maintenance?
Maintenance intervals for ustekinumab are typically every 8 or 12 weeks depending on indication and your prescriber's plan. We track your interval, call before each dose is due, and make sure product is in the fridge when you need it rather than ordered after.
Do you deliver to Brooklyn, Queens, and New Jersey?
Yes. Free refrigerated delivery covers all five NYC boroughs and northern New Jersey, in insulated phase-change packaging handed to an adult.

Can I transfer from a mail-order specialty pharmacy?
Yes, if your plan allows an open network. We request the remaining refills from your current pharmacy, re-verify benefits, and re-enroll your savings program so no dose is missed.
