Teva Cares Foundation Patient Guide: How to Get Ajovy (fremanezumab-vfrm) at Low or No Cost

Ajovy (fremanezumab-vfrm) is a prescription medication used to prevent migraines in adults. The Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program (PAP) provides Ajovy at no cost to eligible patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or unable to afford their medication, helping thousands access vital treatments.[2][3]

About Ajovy

Ajovy is an injectable CGRP inhibitor that helps reduce the frequency of migraines. Administered monthly or quarterly by subcutaneous injection, it targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway involved in migraine attacks. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice on its use, benefits, and potential side effects like injection site reactions.[3]

Who Qualifies for Teva Cares Foundation?

To qualify, you must meet these key criteria:

• Reside in the United States or its territories.[1][2]
• Have a valid prescription from a U.S.-licensed healthcare provider.[1][3]
• Meet income requirements: For 2026 enrollment, your total pre-tax household income must be at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Current patients re-enrolling after November 1, 2025, follow this guideline.[1][4]
• Satisfy insurance criteria: Generally for uninsured or underinsured patients unable to afford Ajovy. Medicare Part D patients may not qualify; those with income <150% FPL need proof of LIS/Extra Help denial.[1][9]

The program is free—no application fees, participation costs, or delivery charges.[2]

Income Eligibility Breakdown

Eligibility hinges on household size and income relative to the 2026 Federal Poverty Level (FPL). You must provide proof of income for all household members unless opting for electronic verification.[1][4]

Here's a table showing maximum annual pre-tax household income at 300% FPL (approximate; check TevaCares.org or call for exact 2026 figures, as FPL updates yearly):

Notes: Income includes all sources (wages, benefits, etc.). Visit TevaCares.org for precise guidelines and updates.[1]

Insurance Requirements

• Uninsured: Indicate no coverage on the application.[1]
• Underinsured: If insurance requires prior authorization (PA) or formulary exception, pursue it first, including appeals if denied. Submit outcome documentation—applications are incomplete without it.[1][4]
• Medicare/Medicaid: Medicare Part D often disqualifies patients. Those <150% FPL must show LIS/Extra Help denial. Medicaid patients may have restrictions.[1][9]
• No employer or insurance plans requiring PAP enrollment as a coverage prerequisite.[2]

Your doctor and you complete insurance details on the form.[7]
