How to Enroll in Vascepa's Savings Program
Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) offers the Vascepa Savings Card program through its manufacturer, Amarin, for eligible commercially insured patients. It reduces out-of-pocket costs to as low as $9 per 30-day fill (up to 13 fills per year), with a maximum annual savings of $3,900. No enrollment fee applies.[1]
Eligibility Check
You qualify if you have commercial insurance (not government plans like Medicare or Medicaid), a valid prescription for Vascepa, and live in the US. Uninsured patients may get free medication via the patient assistance program instead—call 1-877-304-3185 to confirm.[1][2]
Step-by-Step Enrollment
1. Visit the official Vascepa savings page at vascepa.com/savings-card.
2. Enter your doctor's name and contact info (or NPI if known).
3. Provide your pharmacy details.
4. Submit your insurance info and activate the digital card via email or text (takes 1-2 minutes).
Print or save the card for immediate use at most pharmacies.[1]
The card activates instantly and works at 99% of US pharmacies, including major chains. Track usage and refill eligibility on the site.[2]
What If I'm Uninsured or Underinsured?
Switch to the Vascepa Patient Assistance Program (PAP):
- Apply online at vascepa.com/patient-assistance or call 1-877-304-3185.
- Submit proof of income (under 400% federal poverty level) and lack of coverage.
- Approved patients get free Vascepa for up to a year, renewable.[2]
Renewal and Expiration Details
Cards expire after 13 fills or 1 year. Renew online by re-entering doctor/pharmacy info—no new application needed. Maximum savings cap is $300 per fill.[1]
Common Issues and Pharmacy Tips
If denied at checkout, show the pharmacist the digital card and verify coverage. Some states restrict copay cards—check vascepa.com for restrictions. For questions, contact Amarin support at 1-877-871-6758 (Mon-Fri, 8am-8pm ET).[1][2]
