About This Medication

# EYLEA4U Patient Guide: How to Get EYLEA HD (Aflibercept) at Low or No Cost ## About This Program EYLEA4U is a patient support program offered by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals designed to help patients afford EYLEA HD and EYLEA (aflibercept) injections. The program provides financial assistance through multiple pathways depending on your insurance coverage, ensuring that cost is not a barrier to receiving this important retinal disease treatment. ## What Is EYLEA HD (Aflibercept)? EYLEA HD is a prescription injection used to treat retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other chronic retinal conditions. Because these conditions often require ongoing treatment, the medication can become expensive, especially when patients face high out-of-pocket costs. EYLEA4U exists to bridge this affordability gap. ## Who Qualifies for EYLEA4U? Eligibility depends on your insurance type: **Commercial Insurance Patients:** If you have private insurance (not Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs), you may qualify for the EYLEA4U Commercial Copay Card Program. There is no annual income limit for this program. **Government Insurance Patients:** If you have Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or Medicaid, you may qualify for assistance through independent co-pay assistance foundations partnered with EYLEA4U. **Uninsured or Underinsured Patients:** The Patient Assistance Program (PAP) may provide EYLEA HD or EYLEA at no cost to eligible patients who are underinsured, uninsured, or lack coverage for the medication. ## Insurance Requirements For the Commercial Copay Card Program, your insurance company must cover EYLEA for an approved use. This means your doctor must prescribe EYLEA for a condition your insurance recognizes as appropriate treatment. For patients with government healthcare programs, independent co-pay assistance foundations can help with out-of-pocket costs after your insurance has processed the claim. ## Financial Assistance Amounts The program offers substantial support: | Assistance Type | Maximum Benefit | Details | |---|---|---| | Commercial Copay Card (drug cost) | Up to $20,000 per rolling year | Covers copays, coinsurance, and deductibles for EYLEA HD and/or EYLEA | | Commercial Copay Card (administration) | Up to $1,000 per rolling year | Covers administration-specific copays, coinsurance, and deductibles | | Patient Assistance Program | No cost medication | For uninsured/underinsured patients who qualify | **Your Out-of-Pocket Cost:** With the Commercial Copay Card, you typically pay as little as $0 per treatment, with a minimum of $5 per treatment after program assistance is exhausted. ## How to Apply **Step 1: Gather Your Information** Have ready your insurance information, proof of income (if applying for the Patient Assistance Program), and any documentation showing you are underinsured or uninsured. **Step 2: Contact EYLEA4U** Reach out to EYLEA4U by calling 1-855-EYLEA4U (1-855-395-3248) or visiting the EYLEA patient support website. Your doctor's office can also help initiate the application process. **Step 3: Complete Your Application** Work with an EYLEA4U Support Specialist who will guide you through the application. They will verify that you meet program requirements and answer any questions about eligibility. **Step 4: Receive Confirmation** Once approved, you'll receive a confirmation letter sent to your doctor's office. Your Support Specialist ensures that your EYLEA HD or EYLEA gets shipped to your doctor's office for administration. **Step 5: Start Treatment** Your doctor will administer the medication at their office. You'll pay your copay (as low as $0 with the copay card, or $5 minimum), and the program covers the rest up to the annual limit. ## Application Timeline and Delivery While specific processing times are not detailed in program materials, EYLEA4U Support Specialists work to process applications efficiently. Once approved, medication is shipped directly to your doctor's office, so there is no delay in receiving treatment. Contact EYLEA4U directly for current processing timeframes. ## Program Benefits and Continuity An important feature of EYLEA4U is that program benefits do not reset if you switch between EYLEA HD and EYLEA treatments. Your annual assistance limit carries over, providing flexibility as your treatment needs evolve. ## What If Your Application Is Denied? If you are denied enrollment in one program pathway, discuss alternative options with your EYLEA4U Support Specialist. For example, if you don't qualify for the Commercial Copay Card, you may be eligible for the Patient Assistance Program or independent co-pay assistance through foundations. Your Support Specialist can help identify which program best fits your situation. ## Reauthorization Program eligibility can change, so stay in contact with your EYLEA4U Support Specialist about your coverage status. If your insurance changes or your financial situation shifts, inform the program so they can reassess your eligibility and ensure you continue receiving appropriate assistance. ## Important Disclaimer Program availability, eligibility requirements, and benefit amounts can change at any time.
