About This Medication

# Amgen SupportPlus Patient Guide: How to Get Aimovig (erenumab-aooe) at Low or No Cost Aimovig (erenumab-aooe) is a prescription medication used for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults, and Amgen SupportPlus offers financial assistance programs like the Aimovig Co-Pay Card to help eligible patients reduce out-of-pocket costs.[2][6] This guide explains eligibility, application steps, and resources to access Aimovig affordably through Amgen's support programs.[1][3] ## About Aimovig and Why Assistance Matters **Aimovig** is an injectable CGRP receptor blocker that helps prevent migraines by targeting a protein involved in migraine attacks. It's administered once monthly via a self-injector pen, making it convenient for long-term use.[2] However, without insurance or with high deductibles, costs can be prohibitive—often thousands per dose. Amgen SupportPlus provides tailored financial support regardless of insurance status, including copay assistance for commercially insured patients and resources for uninsured individuals.[1][3] ## Who Qualifies for Amgen SupportPlus? Amgen SupportPlus serves patients with a valid Aimovig prescription. Key programs include: - **Aimovig Co-Pay Card**: For patients with **commercial or private insurance** (including marketplace plans). No income requirements. Patients may pay as little as **$5** (or **$49** in some references) per month for copays, deductibles, or co-insurance, up to program limits.[5][6] - **Uninsured or High-Deductible Plans**: AmgenNow offers discounted direct-to-patient pricing. Independent nonprofit foundations may also help—call for referrals.[1][3] **Important exclusions**: Government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal/state-funded insurance disqualify patients from the Co-Pay Card.[4][5] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown The primary Aimovig Co-Pay Card has **no income threshold**—it's available to eligible commercially insured patients regardless of income.[5] For uninsured patients or those seeking additional aid via foundations, eligibility varies by nonprofit (income-based in many cases). Amgen SupportPlus connects you to these options.[1][3] | Patient Type | Program | Income Requirement | Max Benefit | Eligibility Notes | |-------------|---------|---------------------|-------------|------------------| | Commercial Insurance | Aimovig Co-Pay Card | None | Up to monthly/annual limits (e.g., covers after $5 patient pay) | Prescription required; not for gov't insurance[5][6] | | Uninsured/High-Deductible | AmgenNow | Varies (call to confirm) | Discounted monthly price | Direct-to-patient[1] | | Any Insurance | Nonprofit Foundations | Often 400-500% FPL | Grants for copays/meds | Referred by Amgen SupportPlus[3] | *Federal Poverty Level (FPL) examples for 2026 (continental US): 1-person household ~$15,060; 2-person ~$20,440.
