About This Medication

# Azurity Pharmaceuticals Patient Assistance Program Guide: How to Get Evekeo ODT at Low or No Cost Evekeo ODT (amphetamine sulfate) is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat ADHD in children ages 3-16, narcolepsy, and exogenous obesity as part of short-term weight management.[5] While Azurity Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer, offers savings options like co-pay cards for commercially insured patients, a patient assistance program (PAP) may provide free or low-cost medication for uninsured or underinsured individuals meeting income criteria.[1][2][4][8] ## Who Qualifies for Assistance? Qualification typically targets patients without adequate insurance coverage or those facing high out-of-pocket costs. Key groups include: - Uninsured or underinsured patients. - Those with household income below approximately 200-300% of the federal poverty level (FPL), though exact thresholds are not publicly detailed and require direct verification.[8] - U.S. residents (programs exclude government-funded insurance like Medicare or Medicaid in many cases).[3][4][8] Commercially insured patients may access a separate **Evekeo Savings Card**, reducing co-pays to $30-$50 per prescription, but not for government insurance holders.[4][8] Contact Azurity for PAP specifics, as Evekeo ODT is not explicitly listed on standard directories like RxAssist, suggesting a case-by-case or unadvertised option.[2] ## About Evekeo ODT **Evekeo ODT** is an orally disintegrating tablet form of amphetamine sulfate, offering convenience for patients who struggle with swallowing pills. It works by increasing attention, reducing impulsivity and hyperactivity in ADHD, managing narcolepsy symptoms, or aiding short-term obesity treatment when other methods fail.[5] Common doses start low and titrate based on response. Note: During shortages, providers recommend backup plans like generic amphetamine salts.[1] Always use under medical supervision due to risks like dependence or cardiovascular effects. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Azurity's PAP likely follows standard pharmaceutical guidelines, requiring income at or below **200-400% FPL** (exact percent varies; confirm with manufacturer). No specific thresholds for Evekeo ODT are published, but here's a general table based on 2026 FPL estimates for the contiguous U.S. (Hawaii/Alaska higher): | Household Size | 100% FPL | 200% FPL | 300% FPL | 400% FPL | |----------------|----------|----------|----------|----------| | 1 (Individual) | $15,060 | $30,120 | $45,180 | $60,240 | | 2 (Couple) | $20,440 | $40,880 | $61,320 | $81,760 | | 3 | $25,820 | $51,640 | $77,460 | $103,280| | 4 | $31,200 | $62,400 | $93,600 | $124,800| *Add ~$5,380 per additional person. Proof like tax returns required. Government insurance often disqualifies.[8]* ## Insurance Requirements - **Commercial insurance:** Eligible for savings card ($30-$50 co-pay).[4][8] - **No insurance or underinsured:** PAP candidate.[1][4] - **Medicare/Medicaid/VA:** Typically ineligible for manufacturer PAPs or savings cards.[3][4][8] Check with your pharmacist or Azurity if your plan requires prior authorization, as many do not fully cover Evekeo.[1] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Consult your doctor:** Discuss financial hardship and get a prescription. Ask them to verify PAP availability via Azurity.[1][4] 2. **Contact Azurity Pharmaceuticals:** Call 1-800-461-7449 (from safety info) or check azurity.com/evekeo for PAP details. Inquire about Evekeo ODT specifically.[5][7] 3. **Gather documents:** Prepare proof of income (W-2, pay stubs, tax return), insurance status (denial letter if applicable), ID, and prescription.[8] 4. **Submit application:** Doctor completes and faxes/emails to Azurity (similar to other programs).[9][10] Or use resources like NeedyMeds.org or RxAssist.org for guidance.[1][4] 5. **Follow up:** Track status via phone. Approval may send meds to pharmacy or home.[3] ## Timeline and Delivery Processing takes 2-4 weeks typically for PAPs, though savings cards are instant at pharmacies.[3][8] Once approved, medication ships via mail or to a participating pharmacy (e.g., Azurity's E-Z Rx network for select drugs).[3] Refills require reauthorization; track via provider.[1] ## Alternatives if Denied or During Shortages - **Discount cards:** GoodRx or SingleCare reduce cash price to $350-$600/month vs. full cost.[1] - **Generics:** Amphetamine salts ($30-$80/month) or lisdexamfetamine; note dose conversions (Evekeo 1:1 ratio differs from Adderall's 3:1).[1] - **Other PAPs:** NeedyMeds, RxAssist, or state programs.[4] - **Provider switch:** Methylphenidate generics ($15-$50/month).[4] Document a backup plan with your doctor.[1] ## Disclaimer This guide synthesizes available info as of 2026; programs change.
