Simponi Aria

What is Simponi Aria?

Simponi Aria is an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biologic medication. 

Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis are caused by an overactive immune system. The immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to inflammation, pain, and other symptoms.

TNF is a protein that is involved in the immune system’s response to inflammation. It is produced by certain cells in the body and helps to regulate the inflammatory process. However, in people with inflammatory conditions, TNF is produced in excess, leading to chronic inflammation.

Simponi Aria works by blocking TNF, which helps to reduce inflammation and relieve the symptoms of inflammatory conditions. By reducing inflammation, Simponi Aria can also help slow down the progression of these conditions.

Symponi Aria Cost

Symponi Aria cost can vary depending on several factors including insurance status and insurance provider. At Pure Infusion Suites, we are committed to lowering costs and improving access for our patients. Our team of patient access coordinators are here to set you up for success. 

We work with a growing list of insurance providers, and are always working to ensure claims/authorizations are processed efficiently. All patients are enrolled in co-pay assistance programs to assist in covering costs of treatment.

Additionally, data from an Artemetrx report shows average costs at an outpatient hospital facility are more than 3X higher than costs at an ambulatory infusion center. That means we save our patients’ money, while offering a more comfortable experience!

What to Expect During Your Infusion

Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your infusion therapy.

  1. Your dedicated Infusion nurse will check your vitals and review your medical history to check for improvements or potential side effects of your infusion therapy. 
  2. Your nurse will begin your infusion and check in on you periodically during your treatment. 
  3. After your infusion, your nurse will monitor you to ensure you do not have any complications or reactions to the infusion therapy.
