About This Medication

# Alexion OneSource Guide: Getting Kanuma at Low Cost ## What Is Alexion OneSource? Alexion OneSource is a prescription assistance program (PAP) designed to help patients access Kanuma (sebelipase alfa) at reduced or no cost. Kanuma treats Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency (LAL-D), a rare genetic condition affecting how your body breaks down fats. If you struggle to afford this medication, this program may help. ## Who Can Apply? Alexion OneSource welcomes applications from patients with most insurance types: - **Commercially insured patients** (private health plans) - **Medicare patients** (including Part D coverage gaps) - **Medicaid patients** - **Underinsured patients** (high copays or deductibles) - **Uninsured patients** (no health insurance) There are no age restrictions. Whether you're a child or adult, you may qualify. ## Income Requirements Income limits vary by household size and change annually. The program considers your total household income. If your income falls within the program's guidelines, you're eligible to apply. Income limits are flexible—even patients earning above certain thresholds may qualify based on medical expenses or other circumstances. Contact the program directly at **(888) 765-4747** to confirm your household's specific limit. ## Insurance Coverage and You **If you have commercial or Medicare insurance:** Alexion OneSource works alongside your plan. You may still owe copays or deductibles, but the program can help reduce these costs through copay cards or patient support. **If you have Medicaid:** Coverage varies by state. The program helps fill gaps when Medicaid doesn't cover the full cost. **If you're uninsured:** You may receive Kanuma at no cost if you meet income requirements. ## What Documents Do You Need? Gather these items before applying: 1. **Proof of income** (recent tax return, pay stubs, or benefit statements) 2. **Valid prescription** from your doctor for Kanuma 3. **Insurance card** (if you have coverage) or proof of uninsured status 4. **Photo ID** for verification Most documents can be uploaded online or mailed. Have them ready to speed up your application. ## How to Apply: 4 Simple Steps **Step 1: Start Your Application** Visit **https://alexiononesource.com/kanuma** or call **(888) 765-4747** to begin. Online applications are fastest and most convenient. **Step 2: Provide Your Information** Enter your personal details, income, insurance information, and prescription details. Be accurate—errors can delay approval. **Step 3: Submit Documentation** Upload or mail your proof of income and prescription. Ensure documents are clear and current (usually less than 60 days old). **Step 4: Wait for Approval** The program typically notifies you within 5–10 business days. You'll receive a decision by phone, email, or mail. ## What Happens After Approval? Once approved, you'll receive: - **An authorization number** to give your pharmacy - **Information about your copay amount** (if any) - **Instructions for filling your prescription** Your pharmacy will process Kanuma using your program authorization. If you have a copay card, use it at checkout. ## Reauthorization Program enrollment lasts **12 months**. Before your coverage ends, you'll need to reauthorize to continue receiving assistance. Alexion OneSource will contact you with renewal instructions—usually 30 days before expiration. Keep your contact information updated to avoid lapses in coverage. ## Savings Card Option Eligible patients can receive a **copay card** that reduces your out-of-pocket costs each month. This works with commercial insurance and helps lower your copays at the pharmacy. ## Cost and Timeline Summary - **Application time:** 5–10 business days - **Coverage period:** 12 months - **Cost:** Free or reduced copays (varies by income and insurance) - **Reauthorization:** Required every 12 months ## Next Steps Don't delay—apply today: - **Online:** https://alexiononesource.com/kanuma - **Phone:** (888) 765-4747 - **Hours:** Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM ET Program specialists can answer questions and guide you through the process.
