Are there any income restrictions for the vascepa savings program?

Does the Vascepa savings program have income limits?

The Vascepa savings program is open to patients regardless of income. Amarin Pharma does not set household income thresholds or asset tests for the card.

How does the program actually work?

Eligible patients pay as little as $9 for a 30-day supply or $27 for a 90-day supply at retail pharmacies. The card covers up to $75 per month and $150 per prescription for higher-deductible plans. Coverage continues until the program ends or the patient switches insurance.

Can Medicare or Medicaid patients use it?

No. The program excludes anyone enrolled in federal or state health insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA coverage. Patients with commercial or employer insurance remain eligible.

What happens when the card expires or runs out?

The program renews automatically each year. If benefits are exhausted mid-year, patients can re-enroll for the next calendar year by visiting the official site or calling the support line.

Are there alternatives if someone cannot use the savings card?

Patients who do not qualify for the card may apply for the Amarin patient assistance program. This route requires proof of financial need and lack of coverage, and supplies are provided free through specialty pharmacies.
