Pfizer Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Accupril at Low or No Cost

About This Program

The Pfizer Patient Assistance Program (PAP) provides free or low-cost Accupril (quinapril HCl) to eligible patients who cannot afford their medication. Accupril is a blood pressure medication that helps manage hypertension. This program is jointly administered by Pfizer Inc. and the Pfizer Patient Assistance Foundation, a separate legal entity designed to help financially needy patients access essential medications.

Who Qualifies for Accupril Assistance

To be eligible for the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program, you must meet all of the following requirements:

Basic Eligibility Criteria:

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Reside in the United States, Puerto Rico, or US Virgin Islands
• Have a valid prescription for Accupril written by a healthcare provider licensed in the US or applicable US territory
• Be treated in an outpatient setting
• Have an FDA-approved diagnosis requiring Accupril

Insurance Status: You must be uninsured or government underinsured. Importantly, commercially insured patients are not eligible for this program, even if they have high out-of-pocket costs. This includes patients with insurance through their employer or a Federal Employer Plan. If you have commercial insurance, you should first explore copay assistance programs or speak with your insurance company about coverage options.

Income Requirements: You must meet income guidelines based on the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). As a primary care medication, Accupril typically falls under the 300% FPL income threshold, though specific dollar amounts vary by household size and are subject to change. During your application, you'll provide proof of income to verify eligibility.

Income Eligibility Breakdown

While exact thresholds for Accupril are not specified in available materials, primary care medications through Pfizer PAP generally follow a 300% FPL guideline. The following table provides approximate 2026 income limits at 300% FPL for reference:
