How does the Vascepa Savings Card work?
The Vascepa Savings Card, offered by Amarin Pharma, reduces out-of-pocket costs for eligible commercially insured patients. It covers copays, coinsurance, and deductibles on Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) prescriptions, making the drug more affordable for eligible users.[1]
What are the main cost savings?
Eligible patients pay as little as $9 per 30-, 60-, 90-, or 120-day supply, regardless of quantity dispensed. This applies after any manufacturer coupons or rebates, with no cap on total savings for qualified participants.[1][2]
Who qualifies for the program?
- U.S. residents with commercial insurance (not government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, or VA).
- Prescriptions for Vascepa 0.5g capsules only.
- No income restrictions, but pharmacies must submit claims electronically.
Patients activate the card online or by phone; it ships free or is available digitally.[1]
How long does coverage last?
The card provides savings for up to 48 months from activation, or until commercial insurance ends, whichever comes first. It renews automatically if eligibility persists.[1][2]
Are there restrictions or exclusions?
Savings do not apply to cash-paying patients or government-insured plans. It's void where prohibited by law, and Amarin can change or end it anytime. Some states restrict copay assistance; check eligibility at activation.[1]
Where do patients sign up?
Visit vascepa.com/savings or call 1-877-304-3185 to get the card. Instant digital activation is available at participating pharmacies.[2]
