Aristada Copay Assistance Program (also known as the Aristada Patient Assistance Program)
Designed to help patients reduce out‑of‑pocket costs for Aristada (avacopan) while they have prescription drug coverage.
---
1. What the program covers
| Item | How it’s covered |
|------|------------------|
| Copay & Coinsurance | 100 % of the copay and coinsurance for each Aristada prescription, up to the maximum amount allowed by your insurance plan (typically the drug’s wholesale price). |
| Drug cost | If your insurance has a higher deductible or copay, the program will cover that portion up to the drug’s list price (again, capped by your plan). |
| Other medication costs | Not covered – the program only applies to Aristada. |
Bottom line: Once you’re enrolled, your out‑of‑pocket cost for Aristada should be zero as long as you have a valid prescription and your insurance meets the program’s criteria.
