What is the copay for vascepa with my insurance?



To provide an accurate and comprehensive answer, I would need to know the specifics of your insurance policy. However, I can provide some general information about Vascepa's cost and how to find out more about your potential out-of-pocket expenses.

Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) is a prescription medication used to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people with certain conditions, such as high triglyceride levels or a history of heart disease [1]. The drug is manufactured by Amarin Pharma, Inc.

The cost of Vascepa can vary depending on several factors, including your insurance coverage, the pharmacy you use, and any available discounts or assistance programs. According to GoodRx, the average retail price for a 90-day supply of Vascepa 1-gram capsules ranges from $350 to $450 [2].

To determine your specific copay for Vascepa with your insurance, you should contact your insurance provider or pharmacy benefit manager. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information based on your plan and any applicable deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums.

Additionally, Amarin offers a patient assistance program called Vascepa Together, which may help eligible patients reduce their out-of-pocket costs for Vascepa [3]. You can learn more about this program and other potential savings options on Amarin's website or by contacting their patient support team.

In summary, the copay for Vascepa with your insurance will depend on your specific plan and coverage. You can contact your insurance provider or pharmacy benefit manager for the most accurate information. Additionally, Amarin's patient assistance program may help eligible patients reduce their out-of-pocket costs for Vascepa.
