Hyrimoz requires a prescription from a specialist. Here's how to find a rheumatologist, gastroenterologist, or dermatologist who can prescribe Hyrimoz near you in 2026.
Hyrimoz (adalimumab-adaz) is a powerful biologic medication that treats serious inflammatory diseases. While it's technically legal for any licensed physician to prescribe it, in practice, Hyrimoz is almost always prescribed by specialists who are experienced with biologic therapies. If you're newly diagnosed or considering switching to Hyrimoz, here's what you need to know about finding the right prescriber.
Which Doctors Prescribe Hyrimoz?
Hyrimoz is not a controlled substance. Any licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant can technically prescribe it. However, insurance prior authorization for biologics typically requires documentation from a specialist, and most primary care providers prefer to defer biologic prescribing to specialists who can manage the complex monitoring requirements. Here's who typically prescribes Hyrimoz by condition:
Rheumatologists — for Arthritis and Spondylitis
If you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), or ankylosing spondylitis (AS), your prescriber will most likely be a rheumatologist. Rheumatologists specialize in autoimmune and musculoskeletal diseases and are experienced with the full range of biologic and targeted therapies, including all adalimumab products.
To find a rheumatologist near you, use the American College of Rheumatology's "Find a Rheumatologist" tool at rheumatology.org. You can search by ZIP code and filter by insurance accepted.
Gastroenterologists — for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) are typically managed by a gastroenterologist (GI doctor). GI specialists commonly prescribe biologics including Hyrimoz as part of the management of moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease. The American College of Gastroenterology (GI.org) has a "Find a Physician" search tool to locate GI doctors in your area.
Dermatologists — for Plaque Psoriasis and Hidradenitis Suppurativa
For plaque psoriasis or hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a dermatologist is typically the prescribing specialist. Many dermatologists are now very comfortable with biologic therapies, particularly for patients with moderate-to-severe skin disease who haven't responded to topical treatments or phototherapy. The American Academy of Dermatology (aad.org) has a "Find a Dermatologist" tool.
Ophthalmologists — for Uveitis
For non-infectious uveitis (eye inflammation), Hyrimoz may be prescribed by a uveitis specialist (typically a retina specialist or ocular immunologist within ophthalmology) or in collaboration with a rheumatologist. This is a more specialized use of adalimumab products, and finding a uveitis expert is important. The American Uveitis Society (uveitissociety.org) can help locate specialists.
Can My Primary Care Doctor Prescribe Hyrimoz?
Technically, yes — any licensed MD, DO, NP, or PA can write a prescription for Hyrimoz. However, in practice, primary care providers (PCPs) often prefer to refer patients to a specialist before initiating a biologic. This is because:
Insurance prior authorization usually requires specialist documentation
Biologics require baseline TB testing, HBV screening, and ongoing infection monitoring
Managing disease-specific targets (e.g., disease activity scores in RA) benefits from specialist expertise
In rural areas with limited specialist access, some PCPs with appropriate training do prescribe biologics. Ask your PCP if they are comfortable managing adalimumab therapy.
Can I Get Hyrimoz Prescribed Through Telehealth?
Telehealth has expanded access to specialist care significantly, but for a biologic like Hyrimoz, a purely telehealth-only relationship is often not sufficient. Here's why:
Hyrimoz requires baseline testing (TB test, HBV screen, baseline labs) that must be done at a lab or clinic
Physical examination is important for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of diseases like RA and psoriasis
Insurance prior authorization often requires documentation from an in-person visit
That said, telehealth can supplement in-person care — follow-up appointments, medication management, and side effect monitoring can often happen via video visit after the initial in-person workup. Platforms like Teladoc, Amwell, and specialty-specific telehealth services can connect you with specialists more quickly than waiting for an in-person appointment.
Tips for Getting an Appointment Faster
Ask your PCP for a referral to a specialist who specifically lists biologic management as an area of expertise
Call academic medical centers or teaching hospitals — their rheumatology, GI, and dermatology departments often have broader specialist availability
Ask to be placed on a cancellation list — specialist appointments often open up within a few weeks due to cancellations
Use insurance-based doctor finders (your insurance member portal has an in-network provider search)

Frequently Asked Questions
Hyrimoz is most commonly prescribed by rheumatologists (for RA, PsA, JIA, AS), gastroenterologists (for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), dermatologists (for plaque psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa), and ophthalmologists (for uveitis). Primary care providers and nurse practitioners can also prescribe Hyrimoz but typically refer to specialists for initial evaluation and biologic initiation.
It depends on your insurance plan. HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans almost always require a referral from your primary care provider before seeing a specialist. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans typically allow you to see a specialist directly without a referral. Check your plan documents or call your insurance member services line to confirm.
Yes, nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) can prescribe Hyrimoz in all 50 states, though the scope of practice varies by state. Many rheumatology, gastroenterology, and dermatology practices have NPs or PAs who manage patients on biologic therapies including adalimumab. Insurance prior authorization rules are the same regardless of the prescriber's license type.
Telehealth can be part of Hyrimoz prescribing for follow-up visits and medication management, but most specialists prefer an initial in-person evaluation for diagnosis, physical exam, and baseline testing (TB screening, HBV labs). Once established on therapy, many monitoring visits can be done via video visit. Check with telehealth rheumatology or GI services in your area for availability.
Before starting Hyrimoz, your doctor must test for latent tuberculosis (TB) — typically with a tuberculin skin test (PPD) or IGRA blood test. They should also test for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Baseline labs (CBC, CMP) and a review of your vaccination status are also typically performed. If you have latent TB, it must be treated before starting Hyrimoz.
