Bausch Health Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Cesamet (Nabilone) at Low or No Cost
About This Program
The Bausch Health Patient Assistance Program is a free medication assistance program designed to help eligible patients access Bausch Health medications, including Cesamet (nabilone), at no cost. This program exists to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent patients from obtaining the medications their doctors have prescribed.
About Cesamet (Nabilone)
Cesamet is a prescription medication manufactured by Bausch Health. If your doctor has prescribed this medication and you're struggling with the cost, the Bausch Health Patient Assistance Program may be able to help you receive it for free.
Who Qualifies for This Program?
The Bausch Health Patient Assistance Program is needs-based, meaning eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis after reviewing your application. The program is available to:
- Uninsured patients with no health insurance coverage
- Underinsured patients whose insurance does not cover their medication or who face high out-of-pocket costs
- Commercially insured patients who cannot afford their medication
- Medicare patients who need assistance
- Medicaid patients (particularly relevant since Bausch Health stopped participating in certain federal Medicaid programs as of October 1, 2025)
You must be a resident of the United States or Puerto Rico to qualify.
Income Eligibility
While specific income thresholds are not publicly listed, the program uses income verification as part of its needs-based review process. Each application is evaluated individually to determine financial need. During the application process, you will be asked to provide information about your household income and expenses so the program can assess your eligibility.
Insurance Requirements
The program accepts applications from patients with any insurance status:
- Uninsured
- Underinsured
- Commercially insured
- Medicare beneficiaries
- Medicaid beneficiaries
No insurance coverage is required to apply. In fact, if your Medicaid plan stopped covering Bausch Health medications after October 1, 2025, you may be especially eligible for this program.
