How do I get an Erivedge coupon?
Erivedge (sotorasib) is sold through Amgen’s Patient Assistance Program (PAP) and a manufacturer‑discount card. The PAP issues a coupon that covers a portion of the monthly cost for patients who qualify. To apply, visit Amgen’s patient assistance portal, complete an online eligibility form, and submit required documents. Once approved, the coupon is emailed and can be presented at the pharmacy to reduce the out‑of‑pocket expense. [1]
What does the coupon actually cover?
The coupon offsets the list price of Erivedge, typically providing a dollar‑amount discount that is applied to the monthly payment. The exact amount varies with the patient’s insurance plan and the negotiated rebate with the pharmacy benefit manager. In many cases, the coupon reduces the copay by several hundred dollars per month, though the final figure depends on the individual plan. [1]
Can I use the coupon with my insurance?
Yes. The coupon is designed to work alongside most insurance plans, including Medicare Part D and commercial plans. When you present the coupon at the pharmacy, the pharmacy’s billing system applies the discount to the claim, and your insurance pays the remaining balance. If your insurance covers the full cost, the coupon will be applied after the insurance payment. [1]
Are there other discount programs besides the coupon?
Amgen also offers a “Manufacturer Discount Card” that provides a percentage discount on Erivedge for patients who have no insurance or limited coverage. The card can be applied at checkout in the pharmacy. Additionally, some pharmacy benefit managers have separate “Pharmacy Card” programs that offer a lower price for Erivedge when used with specific prescription drug plans. [1]
How do I check if I qualify for the coupon?
Eligibility criteria include having a prescription for Erivedge, being a patient with a confirmed KRAS G12C mutation, and meeting income or insurance coverage thresholds set by Amgen. The PAP website guides users through a step‑by‑step questionnaire that determines eligibility based on your health status, insurance coverage, and financial situation. [1]
What happens if my application is denied?
If the PAP rejects the application, you can appeal by providing additional documentation, such as a copy of your insurance policy or proof of income. You can also contact Amgen’s customer service for clarification on specific denial reasons. If the coupon remains unavailable, you may still apply for the Manufacturer Discount Card or discuss alternative therapies with your oncologist. [1]
How long does the coupon stay active?
Coupons issued through the PAP remain valid for the duration of your therapy or until the drug’s expiration date, whichever comes first. If you switch insurance plans, you may need to re‑apply to keep the discount active. [1]
Is there a limit to how many coupons I can receive?
Yes. The PAP limits the coupon to the duration of your Erivedge treatment, typically up to 12 months or until the medication is no longer indicated. Multiple coupon applications for the same patient within the same treatment cycle are generally not permitted. [1]
Where can I find the coupon online?
The coupon is generated electronically after successful PAP approval. You will receive a PDF or email attachment that you can print or display on a mobile device. The coupon code is then scanned by the pharmacy’s pharmacy information system. [1]
Can I combine the coupon with a discount card?
In most cases, the coupon and the Manufacturer Discount Card cannot be used simultaneously. However, you can apply the coupon first and then use the discount card if the pharmacy allows multiple discount layers. Always confirm with the pharmacy clerk before submitting. [1]
What should I do if I have trouble using the coupon?
Contact Amgen’s patient assistance hotline for help. The customer service team can verify that the coupon is active, troubleshoot pharmacy processing issues, and provide a new coupon if needed. Pharmacies may also have dedicated support staff for medication assistance. [1]
