Official Crestor Savings Card
Visit the official Crestor website (crestor.com) and click on the "Savings Card" or "Patient Assistance" section. Enter your information to download a digital savings card, which can reduce copays to as low as $10–$30 per month for eligible commercially insured patients. Print or save it for pharmacy use; eligibility typically requires no government insurance like Medicare.[1]
Manufacturer Patient Assistance Program
Contact AstraZeneca (Crestor's maker) directly at 1-800-ROSUVA2 (1-800-767-8822) or apply through their AZ&Me program at azandme.com. This free program provides Crestor at no cost to uninsured or underinsured patients meeting income guidelines (up to 400% of federal poverty level). Download the application, submit proof of income and insurance status, and expect approval within weeks.[1]
Pharmacy Discount Cards
Use free cards from GoodRx, SingleCare, or RxSaver. Search "Crestor" on goodrx.com, print or show the coupon at pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens—discounts often drop the price to $10–$50 for a 30-day supply, beating insurance copays. No income or insurance check required; works for cash-paying customers.[2]
NeedyMeds or Partnership for Prescription Assistance
Apply via needymeds.org or pparx.org. These platforms connect you to Crestor-specific aid, including copay help or free meds. Fill out a quick online form with household details; they match you to programs and handle paperwork. Useful for low-income or uninsured applicants.[3]
Medicare or Insurance Options
If on Medicare, check Extra Help (socialsecurity.gov) for low-income subsidies covering Crestor premiums and copays. For private insurance, ask your plan about prior authorizations or formulary alternatives like generic rosuvastatin, which is cheaper post-patent expiry in 2016.4
