What is the income requirement for vascepa assistance program?

What income level do you need to qualify for the Vascepa assistance program?

The income requirement for the Vascepa assistance program is tied to a patient’s household income and is based on U.S. federal poverty guidelines (Federal Poverty Level, or FPL). Eligibility is typically determined by comparing the applicant’s total household income to the FPL for their household size and state.

Because the exact threshold can change by program version and enrollment period, you’ll need to confirm the current cutoff directly with the program.

Where can I find the exact income threshold (and the current eligibility rules)?

Check the program’s enrollment page or call the patient support number listed there to get the current percentage-of-FPL requirement and any exceptions.

What other factors besides income affect eligibility?

Even if you meet the income requirement, assistance programs can also consider:
- Whether you have insurance coverage (and what type)
- Whether you’re a new vs. returning applicant
- Residency requirements (U.S. state rules may apply)
- Whether you qualify for other benefits or reimbursement programs
