Who Qualifies for Vascepa's Copay Assistance?
Patients qualify for Vascepa's copay savings card if they have commercial insurance (not government insurance like Medicare, Medicaid, or VA), are 18 or older, and reside in the US or Puerto Rico. Household income limits do not apply, but the program excludes long-term care residents and cash-paying patients.[1]
How Much Savings Does It Offer?
Eligible patients pay as little as $9 per 30-day supply (up to 90 days at once), with a maximum annual savings of $15,000. Savings vary by pharmacy and insurance plan; it's not valid where prohibited by law.[1]
How to Get and Activate the Card
Visit VascepaSavings.com or text "SAVE" to 51808 to download the digital savings card. Present it with your prescription at participating pharmacies. Activation requires confirming eligibility online or by phone (1-833-VASCEPA).[1]
What If You're Uninsured or on Government Insurance?
Uninsured patients do not qualify for the copay card. For government-insured patients, the Patient Assistance Program (PAP) covers full medication costs if household income is at or below 600% of the federal poverty level (about $90,000 for a family of 2 in 2024) and they lack other prescription coverage. Apply via the same website or call for PAP details.1
How Long Does Coverage Last and What Are Renewal Rules?
The savings card activates immediately and renews automatically until the prescription ends or the $15,000 cap is reached. Patients must re-enroll yearly if switching programs or insurers. Program terms can change; check VascepaSavings.com for updates.[1]
Common Reasons Coverage Is Denied
Denials occur for government insurance use, expired cards, non-participating pharmacies, or exceeding savings limits. Pharmacies verify eligibility at fill time. Contact the program helpline for disputes.[1]
