About This Medication

# Lilly Cares Patient Guide: How to Get Axiron at Low or No Cost ## About This Program The **Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program** is a nonprofit charitable organization created and funded by Eli Lilly and Company to help uninsured and underinsured patients access their prescribed medications at no cost. If you've been prescribed Axiron (testosterone) and are struggling with the cost, this program may be able to help you receive your medication for free for up to 12 months. ## Who Qualifies for Lilly Cares To be eligible for the Lilly Cares program, you must meet ALL of the following requirements: - Be a permanent, legal resident of the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands - Have a valid prescription for Axiron from your healthcare provider - Be uninsured OR enrolled in Medicare Part D - Not have private insurance that covers prescription medications (with limited exceptions for Medicare Part D patients) - Have a household income that does not exceed the program's income limits ## Income Eligibility Lilly Cares uses the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) to determine income eligibility. Axiron falls under the program's medication groups, and your household income must not exceed specific thresholds based on your family size. The program sets income limits at or above **300% of the Federal Poverty Level** for all Lilly-owned or supported patient assistance programs.
