According to the Vascepa website, the medication is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. However, coverage may vary depending on the specific plan and individual circumstances. The website offers resources to help patients navigate the insurance coverage process and find financial assistance if needed [2].

The Kaiser Permanente Northwest Formulary lists Vascepa as a preferred brand-name medication for the treatment of high triglycerides in adults. The formulary notes that prior authorization may be required for coverage and that coverage may be subject to limitations and restrictions [3].

In summary, Vascepa is not recommended for use in children and is only approved for use in adults. While coverage for the medication may vary depending on the specific insurance plan, it is generally covered by most plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Patients may need to navigate the insurance coverage process and may be subject to limitations and restrictions.
