About This Medication

# Neurocrine Access Support - Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get INGREZZA (valbenazine) at Low or No Cost This guide explains the **Neurocrine Access Support - Patient Assistance Program** from **Neurocrine Biosciences**, helping eligible patients access **INGREZZA (valbenazine)**—a prescription medication—for **tardive dyskinesia** or **Huntington's disease chorea** at no cost. It covers eligibility, application steps, and support options in simple terms. ## About INGREZZA (valbenazine) **INGREZZA (valbenazine)** is an oral capsule (available as standard capsules or **INGREZZA SPRINKLE**) approved to treat **tardive dyskinesia (TD)** in adults and **chorea** associated with Huntington's disease. TD causes involuntary movements like lip smacking or tongue thrusting, often from long-term antipsychotic use. Chorea involves jerky, uncontrolled movements. INGREZZA works by reducing these symptoms, helping patients regain control and improve daily life. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice, as it has a Boxed Warning for risks like sleepiness or neuroleptic malignant syndrome. ## Who Qualifies for the Program? The program supports patients with **financial need** who lack adequate coverage. Key qualifiers include: - **U.S. residents** (or territories). - **No prescription insurance** for INGREZZA, uninsured, or insured but with **qualifying financial hardship**. - Must meet **undisclosed financial criteria** assessed individually—no fixed Federal Poverty Level (FPL) percentage is public. **Commercially insured patients** may not qualify for free meds but can get a **Savings Card** for **$0 copay** (90% pay $10 or less). Medicare/Medicaid patients typically don't qualify for free drug but check other options. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Specific income thresholds aren't publicly listed; Neurocrine reviews cases individually based on financial details provided.
