How to Find a Doctor Who Can Prescribe Yusimry Near You [2026 Guide]

Yusimry (adalimumab-aqvh) is a biologic medication used for serious autoimmune conditions. Because it's a specialty drug, getting a prescription requires seeing the right type of physician. This guide explains which specialists prescribe Yusimry, how to find one near you, and whether telehealth is a viable option.

Which Doctors Can Prescribe Yusimry?

Yusimry is not a controlled substance and has no special prescriber requirements from the DEA. Any licensed physician, nurse practitioner (NP), or physician assistant (PA) can legally prescribe it. However, because it's a biologic used for complex autoimmune conditions, it is almost always prescribed by specialists:

Rheumatologists — primary prescribers for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Gastroenterologists — primary prescribers for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis

Dermatologists — primary prescribers for plaque psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa

Ophthalmologists or Uveitis Specialists — for non-infectious uveitis

Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) — may manage established patients on stable biologic therapy in some settings, often in coordination with specialists

Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants — can prescribe independently in many states; often work within rheumatology, gastroenterology, and dermatology practices

How to Find a Specialist Near You

Use your insurance plan's provider directory. Log into your insurer's website and search for rheumatologists, gastroenterologists, or dermatologists in your network and zip code.

Use Zocdoc or Healthgrades. These platforms list specialists with patient reviews, accepted insurance, and online booking.

Ask your primary care doctor for a referral. A referral from your PCP can expedite getting an appointment with a specialist and is often required by insurance.

Contact professional society locators: The American College of Rheumatology (rheumatology.org), American Academy of Dermatology (aad.org), and American Gastroenterological Association (gastro.org) all have find-a-doctor tools.

Can I Get a Yusimry Prescription via Telehealth?

Telehealth options for Yusimry are limited but growing. Because Yusimry requires a diagnosis of a specific autoimmune condition, an initial in-person evaluation is typically needed to establish the diagnosis and rule out contraindications (such as active infections or latent tuberculosis, which requires a skin test or blood test before starting).

However, once you have an established relationship with a specialist and a stable diagnosis, ongoing management — including prescription renewals and monitoring check-ins — may be possible via telehealth. Telehealth rheumatology platforms such as Hims & Hers Health (for dermatology), Teladoc, or MDLive may also offer access to specialists in some states.

What to Bring to Your First Appointment

Your prior medical records, including previous diagnoses and labs

A list of all current medications and supplements

Insurance card and referral authorization (if required by your plan)

A written description of your symptoms and how long you've had them

Any questions about Yusimry or alternative treatment options

What Happens After You Get a Prescription?

Once your doctor prescribes Yusimry, the process typically involves: prior authorization from your insurance (2-4 weeks), prescription routing to a specialty pharmacy, and enrollment in any savings programs. Because Yusimry is less widely stocked than other adalimumab biosimilars, you may need help finding a pharmacy.
