About This Medication

# Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Fiasp (insulin aspart) at Low or No Cost Fiasp (insulin aspart) is a fast-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. The **Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program (PAP)** offers this medication at **no cost** to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients who meet strict income and residency rules, but confirm Fiasp coverage as some products changed for 2026[1][3][6]. ## About Fiasp and Why This Program Matters **Fiasp** is a mealtime insulin that starts working **faster than regular insulin aspart**, helping manage blood sugar spikes after eating. It's prescribed for type 1 and type 2 diabetes in people of all ages. Insulin costs can be high—often hundreds of dollars monthly without help. The PAP removes this barrier for those who qualify, shipping free medicine without enrollment fees[1][10]. Novo Nordisk's PAP supports diabetes patients, but **2026 updates exclude some medicines**—always check the official list at NovoCare.com to ensure **Fiasp** remains covered, as unbranded insulins and others like Ozempic for Medicare patients are dropped[1][3][6]. ## Who Qualifies? Eligibility focuses on residency, income, insurance, and citizenship: - **U.S. citizen or legal resident**. - **Household income** at or below program thresholds (detailed below). - **Uninsured or underinsured** (specific rules for Medicare Part D, no private coverage like HMO/PPO if fully covered). - **Not eligible** for Medicaid (must provide denial letter), VA benefits, or other federal programs without exceptions. - Your doctor must confirm the prescription[1][2][5][6][8]. **Medicare Part D patients**: Eligible without the prior $1,000 out-of-pocket spend requirement, but enrollment lasts only through December 31 of the year. Apply after October 15 for next year[1][3]. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Income limits follow **2026 guidelines**, tightened from prior years. Uninsured patients need income **under 200% Federal Poverty Level (FPL)** plus Medicaid denial. Older sources mention 400% FPL, but 2026 prioritizes lower thresholds—**verify current FPL at NovoCare** as exact figures adjust yearly[5][6][8]. | Household Size | Max Annual Income (est. 200% FPL, 2026) | Notes | |---------------|-----------------------------------------|-------| | 1 (Individual) | ~$30,120 | Uninsured: Include Medicaid denial[6] | | 2 (Couple) | ~$40,880 | Same as above | | 3 | ~$51,640 | Check state FPL variations | | 4 | ~$62,400 | Adds ~$10,760 per additional member | *Table uses approximate 2026 FPL estimates; download latest app for precise 2026 thresholds. Percentages may vary by insurance status*[1][5][6]. ## Insurance Requirements - **Uninsured**: Primary group; must prove no coverage and Medicaid denial letter[6]. - **Underinsured**: Medicare Part D OK (no $1,000 spend needed now); complete Section B of app. No employer/commercial coverage if it covers the med fully. Medicaid/LIS patients need denial letter[1][2][3]. - **Exclusions**: Active Medicaid, VA, or full private insurance disqualifies unless denied/partial[8]. ## Step-by-Step Application Process **Note**: As of Feb 23, 2026, **online applications only**—download PDF or use portal[7]. 1. **Discuss with your doctor**: They complete their section and get an email link[1]. 2. **Download application**: From https://www.novocare.com/content/dam/novonordisk/novocare/forms/PAP_Application_EN.pdf[2]. 3. **Gather documents**: - **Proof of income** (tax returns, pay stubs). - **Proof of residency** (ID, utility bill). - **Proof of insurance status** (denials, coverage summary). - Medicaid denial if uninsured[1][2][6]. 4. **Complete and submit**: Mark new/re-enrollment, detail meds (Fiasp), insurance.
