Get started with a J&J withMe account

Sign up or log in to your personal J&J withMe account, so you can learn about your insurance coverage for Ustekinumab; if eligible, enroll in the STELARA withMe Savings Program and manage program benefits; and sign up for treatment support that may help you start and stay on track with your J&J medicine.

If your health plan does not approve Ustekinumab treatment

Sometimes you may not be able to obtain the medicine that your doctor has ordered for you. For example, your health plan might not cover the medicine because it is not on the plan’s drug list (formulary) or the cost is higher than you think you should have to pay. In these situations, you and your doctor have the right to ask the health plan to explain its decision and to consider making the medicine available to you as an exception to its policies.

Injection support

A nurse is just a phone call away

Even after you’ve been trained by a healthcare professional to give yourself an injection, you may still have questions. If you haven't signed up for STELARA withMe, Nurse Support* can help answer questions about giving yourself an injection at home, preparing your injection site prior to self-injecting, and properly disposing of your used syringe.

Connect with J&J withMe Nurse Support at 877-227-3728, available Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET. At all other times, a nurse will typically return your call in 15 minutes.

*Nurse Support is limited to education about your J&J medicine, its administration, and/or the condition it treats. It is not intended to provide medical advice, replace a treatment plan you receive from your doctor or nurse, or serve as a reason for you to start or stay on treatment.
