Vascepa Patient Savings Card Discounts
Eligible patients with commercial insurance pay as little as $10 per 30-day supply (90 capsules) via the Vascepa Savings Card from Amarin. Without insurance, it's $299 per month. This delivers about a 95-97% discount off the list price of $300-$400 per month, depending on pharmacy and quantity.[1][2]
Who Qualifies for the Vascepa Savings Card?
U.S. patients with private or commercial insurance (not government programs like Medicare/Medicaid). Maximum annual savings is $9,000. Activate online or by phone; card is good through 2025 with refills.[1][3]
How Does Vascepa Compare to Generic Icosapent Ethyl Pricing?
Vascepa's brand list price remains $320-$380 monthly. Generic versions launched in 2020 at 70-80% less ($60-$100 monthly), but savings cards still beat most generics for eligible patients. Check GoodRx for current coupons averaging 85% off brand.[2][4]
What If You're Uninsured or on Medicare?
No savings card access. Use pharmacy discount programs like GoodRx (80-90% off, ~$50-$70) or opt for generics. Patient assistance programs from Amarin offer free Vascepa for very low-income uninsured (income <400% federal poverty level).[1][3]
Vascepa Cost Trends and Patent Status
Prices stable since 2020 generic entry. Key patents expired March 2020 (composition) and October 2021 (method of use), enabling competition. No major price drops expected soon.[5]
