About This Medication

# Prasco Fluticasone Propionate HFA Inhalation Aerosol Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Flovent HFA at Low or No Cost Flovent HFA (fluticasone propionate HFA inhalation aerosol) is a corticosteroid inhaler used to prevent and control asthma symptoms in adults and children. This **patient assistance program** from **Prasco** provides free medication to eligible uninsured patients who meet specific income and insurance criteria[1][2]. ## About Flovent HFA and Why You Might Need Assistance **Flovent HFA** is the brand name for fluticasone propionate HFA inhalation aerosol, now available as an authorized generic distributed by Prasco. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, helping to prevent asthma attacks and manage daily symptoms. Available in strengths like 44 mcg, 110 mcg, and 220 mcg per actuation, it's typically used twice daily. Without insurance, costs can exceed $200 per inhaler, making it unaffordable for many[7][8]. Prasco's **Patient Assistance Program (PAP)** offers a refillable monthly supply **free of charge** for up to one year to qualifying patients. This is especially helpful for those managing chronic asthma without prescription coverage[1][2]. ## Who Qualifies? To qualify, you must meet **all** these criteria: - Reside in the United States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands[2][9]. - Have **no prescription drug coverage**, including Medicare Part D, Medicaid, TRICARE, or commercial insurance[2]. - Not be enrolled in an Alternate Funding Program. - Household income at or below **300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)**[2][9]. - Have a valid prescription for **Prasco-labeled Fluticasone Propionate HFA Inhalation Aerosol**. Eligibility is determined case-by-case, and patients must be at least 4 years old for this generic[8]. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Income limits are based on **300% of the 2025 Federal Poverty Guidelines** (updated annually; check current guidelines at aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty-economic-mobility/poverty-guidelines). Here's a table for the contiguous U.S. (Alaska and Hawaii have higher limits; Puerto Rico uses different guidelines)[2][9]. | Household Size | Annual Income Limit (300% FPL) | Monthly Income Limit | |----------------|--------------------------------|----------------------| | 1 | $45,180 | $3,765 | | 2 | $61,320 | $5,110 | | 3 | $77,460 | $6,455 | | 4 | $93,600 | $7,800 | | 5 | $109,740 | $9,145 | | Add per person | +$16,140 | +$1,345 | *Notes: Include all household income sources. Provide proof like tax returns or pay stubs. Limits adjust yearly[2].* ## Insurance Requirements This program is strictly for **uninsured patients**. You **cannot** have: - Any prescription coverage (e.g., Medicare Part D, Medicaid, TRICARE, employer plans). - Coverage that pays for Prasco's Fluticasone Propionate HFA[2]. If you have insurance, explore copay cards (not available for this generic from GSK) or discount options like GoodRx. GSK's programs cover brand Flovent only, not Prasco's generic[7]. ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Get a Prescription**: Ask your doctor for Prasco-labeled Fluticasone Propionate HFA Inhalation Aerosol (NDC varies by strength). 2. **Review Eligibility**: Confirm you meet all criteria above. 3. **Apply**: Two easy options[2]: - **Online**: Visit rxoutreach.org/prasco and complete the form. - **Phone**: Call **(866) 578-2444** for help from an Rx Outreach representative.
