At Crinetics, we don’t believe cost should stand in the way of your care. That’s why we
offer financial support to help you get started with PALSONIFY.
Quick start supply
Patients who experience a delay in their insurance coverage determination can begin therapy while the CrinetiCARE team works on securing insurance coverage.
Copay assistance program
