About This Medication

# Azurity Pharmaceuticals Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Evekeo at Low or No Cost Evekeo (amphetamine sulfate tablets, USP) is a central nervous system stimulant prescribed for conditions like ADHD in children ages 3-16, narcolepsy, and short-term obesity treatment when other methods fail.[6] If you're struggling to afford it, Azurity Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer, offers a **patient assistance program (PAP)** for uninsured or underinsured patients meeting income criteria, providing the medication at no or reduced cost.[1][4] ## Who Qualifies for the Program? The Azurity PAP targets patients facing financial hardship who can't afford Evekeo.[1][2][4] Key qualifiers include: - **Uninsured or underinsured** individuals (not covered by commercial insurance savings options).[1] - **Income limits**, typically below **200-300% of the federal poverty level (FPL)**, though exact thresholds aren't publicly detailed—contact Azurity for your household size.[1] - A valid prescription from your doctor for Evekeo. - U.S. residency (programs focus on U.S. patients).[3] **Commercially insured patients** may qualify for a separate **Evekeo Savings Card** instead, reducing copays to $30-$50 per fill (Medicare/Medicaid excluded).[1][4] The PAP is for those without adequate coverage. ## About Evekeo **Evekeo** helps manage **ADHD** by boosting attention and curbing hyperactivity and impulsivity.[6] It's also for **narcolepsy** (excessive daytime sleepiness) and short-term **obesity** aid alongside diet and exercise.[6] Available as tablets, it's a Schedule II controlled substance—use only as prescribed due to abuse risks.[6][9] Common side effects include insomnia, dry mouth, and appetite loss; report serious issues to Azurity at 1-800-461-7449.[6] Always consult your doctor before starting or changing treatment. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Specific income thresholds aren't listed on public sites, but PAPs like Azurity's generally use FPL guidelines.[1] Here's a general table based on typical programs (verify with Azurity for 2026 figures): | Household Size | 200% FPL (Annual Income) | 300% FPL (Annual Income) | |----------------|---------------------------|---------------------------| | 1 (Individual) | ~$30,120 | ~$45,180 | | 2 (Couple) | ~$40,880 | ~$61,320 | | 3 | ~$51,640 | ~$77,460 | | 4 | ~$62,400 | ~$93,600 | *Notes: Add ~$10,760 per person for larger families at 200% FPL. Exact Azurity limits may vary; income proof like tax returns required.[1] Government insurance often disqualifies.[1][4]* ## Insurance Requirements - **Commercial insurance:** Use the **Savings Card** first (as low as $30-$50 copay).[1][4] PAP for when that's insufficient. - **No insurance or underinsured:** Primary PAP candidates.[1] - **Medicare/Medicaid:** Typically ineligible for manufacturer savings/PAP; explore state programs or generics.[1][4][8] Azurity verifies insurance status during application.[1][7] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Get a prescription:** Ask your doctor for Evekeo and discuss affordability—they can assist.[1][4] 2. **Gather documents:** Proof of income (W-2, pay stubs, tax return), insurance status (card or denial letter), ID, and prescriber info.[1][7] 3. **Contact Azurity:** Call patient services (check evekeo.com or azurityrx.com for number, e.g., similar programs use 877-264-2440).[1][3] Or visit rxassist.org for forms.[2][4] 4. **Submit application:** Doctor signs; mail/fax/upload. Include HIPAA consent for info sharing.[7] 5. **Wait for approval:** Processing varies (see FAQ).[1] 6. **Receive medication:** Shipped or via pharmacy network like E-Z Rx.[3] Use helpers like NeedyMeds.org or RxAssist.org.[1][4] ## Timeline and Delivery Processing time isn't specified but expect 2-4 weeks based on similar PAPs—call to confirm.[1] Once approved, delivery via mail or participating pharmacies (some offer home shipping).[3] Refills require reapplication or reauthorization.[1] ## Alternatives if Denied - **Discounts:** GoodRx/SingleCare for $30-$80/month.[4] - **Generics:** Amphetamine salts (generic Adderall) or methylphenidate (~$15-$80).[4] - **Other PAPs:** Search RxAssist/NeedyMeds for Evekeo.[2][4] - **Doctor switch:** To affordable options.[4] ## Disclaimer This guide summarizes available info as of 2026; programs change—verify directly with Azurity (evekeo.com/azurity.com).[1][5] Not medical/financial advice.
