Vascepa is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient icosapent ethyl and is used to treat high levels of triglycerides in the blood. There are several savings programs available for patients who are prescribed Vascepa, including the Vascepa Savings Card and the Vascepa Copay Assistance Program [2]. However, there may be some restrictions on the use of these programs.

According to the Vascepa website, the Vascepa Savings Card is available to patients with commercial insurance who are not enrolled in state or federally funded programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE. Patients who are eligible for the savings card can receive up to $75 off each prescription of Vascepa, with a maximum annual savings of $1,080 [2]. The Vascepa Copay Assistance Program is also available to eligible patients with commercial insurance, and can help cover the cost of copays and deductibles for Vascepa prescriptions [2].

It is important to note that these savings programs may not be available to patients who are enrolled in certain government-funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare. According to GoodRx, Medicare coverage for Vascepa is limited, and patients with Medicare may need to pay out-of-pocket for the medication [3]. However, the Vascepa website states that eligible Medicare patients may still be able to receive savings through the Vascepa Copay Assistance Program [2].

In summary, there are savings programs available for patients who are prescribed Vascepa, including the Vascepa Savings Card and the Vascepa Copay Assistance Program. However, there may be restrictions on the use of these programs for patients who are enrolled in certain government-funded healthcare programs such as Medicare. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider and insurance provider to determine their eligibility for these savings programs.
