About This Medication

# Noven Care Access Network (C.A.N.™) Patient Guide: How to Get Combipatch (estradiol/norethindrone acetate) at Low or No Cost Combipatch (estradiol/norethindrone acetate) is a prescription transdermal patch used to treat moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, in women with an intact uterus. It combines **estradiol** (an estrogen) and **norethindrone acetate** (a progestin) to replace hormones that decrease during menopause, helping to balance hormone levels and reduce symptoms.[1][2] This guide explains how Noven Pharmaceuticals' **Noven Care Access Network (Noven C.A.N.™)** can help eligible patients access Combipatch through coverage assistance, co-pay support, or other resources, though specific patient assistance programs may be limited.[2][6] ## Who Qualifies for Noven C.A.N.™? Noven C.A.N.™ is Noven Pharmaceuticals' patient support program designed to connect patients to product information, coverage resources, and potential financial assistance like co-pay cards for eligible products.[2][7] While detailed eligibility criteria for Combipatch are not explicitly published, the program generally helps patients who: - Have a valid prescription for a Noven product like Combipatch. - Face insurance coverage challenges, such as prior authorization requirements or high out-of-pocket costs. - May qualify for co-pay assistance if commercially insured (not government-insured in some cases). - Reside in the US and are treated by a licensed healthcare provider.[1][5] **Important note:** Noven does not currently offer a traditional free medication Patient Assistance Program (PAP) for all products beyond co-pay savings where available. Instead, C.A.N.™ focuses on coverage verification, prior authorization support, appeals, and connecting to other resources.[6][7] Contact the program to confirm Combipatch-specific options, as they assess eligibility individually.[1] ## About Combipatch Combipatch is a twice-weekly skin patch applied to the lower abdomen or buttocks. It delivers continuous hormone therapy to manage menopausal symptoms effectively. Common benefits include fewer hot flashes, better sleep, and reduced vaginal dryness. Always use as prescribed, and discuss risks like blood clots, stroke, or breast cancer with your doctor—these are important for hormone therapies.[1][2] Noven C.A.N.™ provides education on proper use and adherence support.[7] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Specific income thresholds for Combipatch assistance are not publicly detailed by Noven, unlike some other manufacturers that tie aid to **Federal Poverty Level (FPL)** percentages (e.g., 400-500% FPL).[5][9] Noven C.A.N.™ evaluates on a case-by-case basis, often prioritizing insurance status over strict income limits.[1][6] For reference, similar programs use tables like this: | Household Size | Max Annual Income (400% FPL example) | |---------------|-------------------------------------| | 1 (Individual) | $60,240 | | 2 (Couple) | $81,760 | | 3 | $103,280 | | 4 | $124,800 | *Notes: Thresholds adjust yearly and vary by state (higher in AK/HI). Noven may not require proof of income upfront but verifies during enrollment. Call 888-526-0132 to check your situation.[1][4][5]* ## Insurance Requirements Noven C.A.N.™ requires verification of your insurance to determine support level.[1][7] Key points: - **Commercial/Private Insurance:** Eligible for co-pay assistance if applicable (e.g., savings cards).[2][6] - **Medicare Part D:** May assist with prior authorizations or appeals, but free medication PAPs often exclude or require denial letters.[3][9] - **Medicaid/LIS/VA:** Typically ineligible for manufacturer co-pay help; program refers to other resources.[3][5] - **Uninsured:** Limited free drug options; focuses on coverage navigation.[6] Provide insurance cards (front/back) if requested.[1][10] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Get Your Prescription:** Ask your doctor for Combipatch and discuss Noven C.A.N.™.[7] 2. **Contact Noven C.A.N.™:** Call **888-526-0132** (Mon-Fri, business hours) or visit noven.com for resources.[2][4] 3. **Complete Enrollment Form:** Your doctor faxes the form to **877-461-0907**.
