How much will i pay out of pocket with vascepa savings program?

What the Vascepa Savings Card Covers

The Vascepa Savings Program, run by Amarin, offers eligible commercially insured patients an out-of-pocket copay as low as $10 per 30-day supply (up to 90 capsules), with a maximum annual savings of $7,800. Without the card, costs vary by insurance, pharmacy, and location—often $300–$500 monthly for cash payers.[1]

Who Qualifies and How to Enroll

• Eligibility: U.S. residents with commercial insurance (not government plans like Medicare/Medicaid). Pharmacies verify at pickup.
  
• Enrollment: Visit vascepasavings.com or text "SAVE" to 91864 (or call 1-877-310-7322). Instant digital card available; activate at pharmacy.[1]
  
  

What If You Don't Qualify?

Patients on government insurance get a $60 copay via the Vascepa Patient Assistance Program (income-based, up to 400% FPL). Uninsured may pay full cash price (~$400–$500/month) unless applying for free meds through the PAP.[1][2]

Real Costs After Savings: Factors That Affect Your Bill

| Scenario | Typical Out-of-Pocket with Card |
|----------|---------------------------------|
| Commercial insurance, standard copay | $10/month |
| High-deductible plan (pre-deductible) | $10 (counts toward deductible) |
| Max savings hit | $10 (annual cap applies) |
| No insurance (card ineligible) | Full price, ~$400–$500 |

Prices fluctuate; check GoodRx for local quotes (often $250–$350 cash with coupons). Card expires after 48 months of inactivity.[1][3]

Common Patient Questions on Hidden Costs

• Does it cover 90-day fills? Yes, $10 for up to 90 capsules.
  
• What if denied at pharmacy? Often due to insurance type; PAP alternative available.
  
• Generic impact? Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) has patents until ~2030; no generics yet, so savings card remains key.4
