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].

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].
