BMS Access Support Co-Pay Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get KRAZATI (adagrasib) at Low or No Cost

KRAZATI (adagrasib) is a prescription medication used to treat certain types of advanced lung cancer with specific genetic mutations. The BMS Access Support Co-Pay Assistance Program, offered by Bristol Myers Squibb, helps eligible commercially insured patients reduce out-of-pocket costs for KRAZATI to as little as $0 per one-month supply, subject to maximum benefits and restrictions.[1][2][8]

About KRAZATI (adagrasib)

KRAZATI is an oral targeted therapy approved for adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. It works by specifically blocking the KRAS G12C protein, a mutated protein that drives cancer cell growth, helping to slow or stop tumor progression. Take it as 600 mg (six tablets) twice daily with food. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, and liver function changes—discuss with your doctor. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions, as this guide focuses on access, not medical advice.[1][2]

Who Qualifies for the Program?

This program is designed for commercially insured patients facing high out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, co-pays, or co-insurance for select Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) medications, including KRAZATI. Key eligibility points:

• Commercial insurance only: Private plans (e.g., employer-sponsored or marketplace insurance).[1][2][7]
• U.S. residents aged 18 or older.[5]
• Prescribed a qualifying BMS medication like KRAZATI.
• Out-of-pocket costs: Program covers eligible expenses up to a maximum annual benefit (terms vary; review full details).[8]

Patients with government insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE) are not eligible. BMS can connect you to independent charitable foundations for potential help—call 1-800-861-0048.[1][2]
