Vascepa is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl, and it is used to treat high levels of triglycerides in the blood. Whether or not Vascepa is covered by your insurance depends on your specific insurance plan. According to the Vascepa website, the medication is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, but the amount of coverage may vary depending on the plan [2]. The website also offers resources for patients to help navigate the insurance process and find ways to save on the cost of the medication, including copay cards and patient assistance programs [3]. However, it is important to note that the information provided on the Vascepa website is not a guarantee of coverage, and patients should check with their insurance provider to confirm their specific coverage details [2]. The Drug Patent Watch website provides information on the patent status of Vascepa, but it does not provide information on insurance coverage [1].
