Vascepa is a prescription medication used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with elevated triglyceride levels. While Vascepa is covered by most insurance plans, some patients may still experience financial difficulties in obtaining the medication.

Fortunately, the manufacturer of Vascepa, Amarin Pharma, offers a patient assistance program to help eligible patients access the medication. To be eligible for the Vascepa Patient Assistance Program, patients must meet certain income requirements. The program is available to patients who have an annual income of up to 400% of the federal poverty level.

Patients who are eligible for the Vascepa Patient Assistance Program can receive their medication for free or at a reduced cost. The program is available to patients who do not have insurance or who have insurance that does not cover Vascepa.

In addition to the patient assistance program, Amarin Pharma also offers a co-pay card for eligible patients. The co-pay card can help patients save money on their out-of-pocket costs for Vascepa. To be eligible for the co-pay card, patients must have commercial insurance and meet certain income requirements.

In summary, to be eligible for the Vascepa Patient Assistance Program, patients must have an annual income of up to 400% of the federal poverty level. The program is available to patients who do not have insurance or who have insurance that does not cover Vascepa. Additionally, eligible patients with commercial insurance can save money on their out-of-pocket costs for Vascepa with the co-pay card offered by Amarin Pharma.
