About This Medication

# MyCAMZYOS Patient Guide: How to Get Camzyos (mavacamten) at Low or No Cost Camzyos (mavacamten) is a prescription medication used to treat adults with symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition where the heart muscle thickens and obstructs blood flow.[1][2] The **MyCAMZYOS** program, offered by **Bristol-Myers Squibb**, provides access support, financial assistance, and resources to help eligible patients get Camzyos at low or no cost through options like a free trial, co-pay cards, and bridge programs.[1][3][4] ## About Camzyos and Why Assistance Matters Camzyos works by targeting the underlying cause of obstructive HCM, helping to improve symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain.[2][7] However, as a specialty medication, it can be expensive without help. Camzyos is only available through the **CAMZYOS REMS program** due to risks like heart failure from systolic dysfunction. This means your doctor must be certified, and you can only get it from certified specialty pharmacies like Accredo.[2][7][8][9][10] The MyCAMZYOS program simplifies access with **benefit reviews**, **prior authorization (PA) support**, **appeals help**, and coordination with pharmacies.[1] Financial aid focuses on commercially insured patients but includes options for others.[1][4] ## Who Qualifies for MyCAMZYOS Assistance? Eligibility varies by program: - **Free Trial Program**: One-time 35-day free supply for first-time patients 18+ in the US, with a valid prescription for on-label use. Cannot combine with other offers.[1][2][4] - **Co-Pay Program**: Commercially insured patients pay as little as **$10 per 30-day supply**, up to $15,000/year benefit. Not for government insurance or cash-pay patients.[1][3][4][6] - **Bridge Program**: Free Camzyos for commercially insured patients during insurance delays or denials.[1] - **Echocardiogram Co-Pay Help**: Covers out-of-pocket costs for required heart scans if not fully insured.[2] **Key Exclusions**: Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE, or other federal programs; residents of certain states like MA or MN may have restrictions.[2][3] **Medicare Patients**: No co-pay card, but average costs are $38/month under Part D. Out-of-pocket max is $2,100/year (2026), then $0. Check Medicare.gov for details.[4] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown MyCAMZYOS does not use strict federal poverty level (FPL) income thresholds like some programs. Instead, eligibility ties to **commercial insurance** status, not income.[1][3] No household income proof is typically required for co-pay or trial offers, though enrollment forms may collect it for potential audits.[2] | Household Size | Income Threshold | FPL % | Notes | |---------------|------------------|-------|-------| | Individual | None specified | N/A | Based on commercial insurance, not income[1][3] | | Couple | None specified | N/A | Same; cash-pay ineligible[3] | | Family of 3 | None specified | N/A | Focus on insurance type[2] | | Family of 4 | None specified | N/A | Government insurance excludes[3] | Contact MyCAMZYOS for personalized review, as details may change.[1] ## Insurance Requirements - **Commercial/Private Insurance**: Required for co-pay ($10/month), bridge, and most aid. Coverage must not fully reimburse the drug.[1][3][4] - **Government Insurance (e.g., Medicare)**: Ineligible for co-pay; rely on Part D coverage.[3][4] - **No Insurance/Cash-Pay**: Not eligible for co-pay; free trial may apply if other criteria met.[3] MyCAMZYOS helps verify benefits and handle PAs.[1] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Get Prescribed**: Your cardiologist must be CAMZYOS REMS-certified.
