How Much Copay Assistance Does Vascepa Offer?
Vascepa's copay assistance through the VASCEPA Savings Card covers up to $18,000 per year for eligible commercially insured patients, reducing out-of-pocket costs for the 0.5g or 1g capsules to as low as $0 per fill (maximum savings per 30-, 60-, or 90-day supply is $600).[1]
Who Qualifies for the Full $18,000 Annual Cap?
Eligibility requires commercial insurance that covers Vascepa (not government programs like Medicare or Medicaid), a valid prescription, and U.S. residency. Patients must activate the card online or by phone; no income restrictions apply, but pharmacies verify coverage.[1][2]
What Happens After Reaching the $18,000 Limit?
Once the annual cap is hit, patients pay their full copay or coinsurance for remaining fills that year. The program resets January 1; no carryover occurs.[1]
How Does This Compare to Other PCSK9 or Lipid Drugs?
Vascepa's $18,000 cap exceeds assistance for competitors like Repatha (up to $5,100/year for some) or Nexletol (up to $9,450/year), targeting high-cost hypertriglyceridemia patients on icosapent ethyl.3
