The Kesimpta Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Kesimpta at little or no medication cost to qualifying patients based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for relapsing MS patients who are uninsured or underinsured, as well as Medicare Part D beneficiaries.
Navigating the program on your own means dealing with eligibility verification, neurology coordination, baseline immunoglobulin/screening documentation, prior-authorization documentation, specialty pharmacy logistics, and renewal deadlines.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through ongoing refill coordination and annual re-certification.

Kesimpta (ofatumumab) is a fully human anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Unlike other anti-CD20 MS therapies that require IV infusions, Kesimpta is self-administered at home as a once-monthly subcutaneous injection.
How Kesimpta Works:
B-lymphocytes drive multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis through autoantibody production, antigen presentation, and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. Ofatumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD20 surface marker on these cells with high affinity. This binding triggers rapid and sustained B-cell depletion through complement-dependent and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Ultimately, this targeted depletion dramatically reduces MS relapse rates, slows disability progression, and decreases MRI lesion activity while offering the convenience of home dosing.
Form and use:
Kesimpta is self-administered as a subcutaneous injection using a prefilled syringe or Sensoready pen, which most patients can do at home after receiving proper training. The standard loading schedule consists of a 20 mg dose administered at weeks 0, 1, and 2. Following this initial phase, the ongoing maintenance dose is 20 mg once monthly, starting at week 4. Before a patient can begin treatment with this medication, a mandatory hepatitis B screening must be performed.
Generic availability:
As of 2026, there is no biosimilar version of Kesimpta available in the United States. Other anti-CD20 therapies for MS include ocrelizumab and ublituximab, which are administered as intravenous infusions every 6 months, as well as rituximab biosimilars that are widely used off-label at a lower cost. Additional disease-modifying therapy classes available for MS management include S1P modulators, interferons, glatiramer, oral agents like generic dimethyl fumarate, and natalizumab.
Warnings:
Kesimpta carries warnings for local and systemic injection reactions, which are typically mild and decrease with subsequent doses. It increases the risk of infections, such as upper respiratory and urinary tract infections, and carries a rare risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The medication can reactivate hepatitis B, making active or untreated chronic HBV a contraindication, and long-term use can reduce immunoglobulin levels. Furthermore, live vaccines must be avoided, and any required live vaccinations should be completed at least 4 weeks prior to starting therapy.
Kesimpta costs approximately $7,500–$8,500 per monthly injection, with annual costs commonly $90,000–$100,000+. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Kesimpta at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers full advocacy and program management.
Both are anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies for relapsing MS with similar effectiveness. Kesimpta (ofatumumab) is a once-monthly SC self-injection at home. Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) is an IV infusion every 6 months at an infusion center. Kesimpta offers convenience and home administration; Ocrevus offers less-frequent dosing and is also approved for primary progressive MS. Some patients prefer one over the other based on lifestyle and preferences.
B-cell depletion is rapid — within days of the first dose. MS clinical benefit (reduced relapses, slowed disability) develops over months. Most patients experience a significant decrease in MS attacks within the first year of consistent dosing. MRI lesion activity is typically substantially reduced within 6 months.
Anti-CD20 therapy can reactivate hepatitis B in patients with current or past HBV infection. HBV screening (HBsAg, anti-HBc) is required before starting. Patients with active HBV cannot receive Kesimpta; patients with prior HBV exposure may need antiviral prophylaxis and close monitoring.
Yes. Medicare Part D beneficiaries can typically qualify, especially if you face specialty-tier copays. The manufacturer’s commercial copay savings program is reserved for commercially insured patients only — but the underlying PAP supports Medicare patients who meet income criteria.
Some neurologists use rituximab (with multiple biosimilars available at lower cost) off-label for MS. Rituximab is dosed approximately every 6 months by IV infusion. The clinical effectiveness is similar to ocrelizumab and Kesimpta in many studies. Insurance coverage for off-label rituximab in MS varies. Discuss with your neurologist whether biosimilar rituximab might be a cost-effective alternative.
If denied, we explore alternatives — switching to Ocrevus or Briumvi with their own PAPs, off-label rituximab biosimilar at much lower cost, generic fingolimod, generic dimethyl fumarate, or another MS DMT, the manufacturer’s copay program for commercially insured patients, or independent foundations such as the National MS Society, MS Association of America, PAN Foundation, or HealthWell Foundation. If we cannot find a path, you won’t be charged our service fee.
