Vascepa, a prescription medication containing icosapent ethyl, is primarily used to treat high triglycerides and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in certain patients. According to the manufacturer, Amarin, Vascepa does not have a traditional savings program like copay cards or coupons for eligible patients [1]. However, Amarin offers a patient assistance program called the Vascepa Access Program, which provides patients with no formulary coverage or insufficient coverage through their private insurance plans with a 30-day supply of Vascepa for as low as $20 per month [2].
Patients should check their insurance coverage and contact the Vascepa Access Program (1-844-VASECPA or vascepa.com ) to determine their eligibility for the patient assistance program. DrugPatentWatch.com provides information on prescription medications, including Vascepa, and can be a valuable resource for patients and healthcare providers researching medication pricing and availability [3].
