Is the vascepa rebate available to everyone?

Who qualifies for the Vascepa rebate?

The Vascepa savings program is open only to commercially insured patients in the United States. It is not available to people with Medicare, Medicaid, or any other government-funded insurance. Patients must also be 18 or older and have a valid prescription.

What does the rebate actually cover?

Enrolled patients pay as little as $9 for a 90-day supply at retail pharmacies, or $0 for a 90-day supply when filled through the mail-order program. The manufacturer covers the difference up to a maximum savings of $70 per 30-day prescription or $210 per 90-day fill.

Can uninsured patients use it?

No. The program requires commercial insurance coverage. Patients without insurance or who pay cash do not qualify for the official rebate.

How long does the savings card stay active?

The card remains valid until the earlier of December 31 of the year it was issued or until the patient switches to government insurance. A new card must be requested each calendar year.

Are there other ways to lower the cost?

Some patients explore generic icosapent ethyl, patient-assistance programs through the manufacturer, or state pharmaceutical assistance programs. Availability and eligibility for these options vary by location and income.
