About This Medication

# LENVIMA Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get LENVIMA at Low or No Cost LENVIMA (lenvatinib) is a prescription medication used to treat certain types of advanced cancers, and the **LENVIMA Patient Assistance Program** from **Eisai** helps eligible patients get it at low or no cost if you're uninsured or facing financial hardship.[1][2] This guide explains everything you need to know in simple terms, from eligibility to applying and what to do next. ## About LENVIMA (lenvatinib) **LENVIMA** is an oral targeted therapy approved for cancers like advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma), thyroid cancer, endometrial cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).[3] It works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow and spread, potentially slowing disease progression. Doctors often prescribe it as a first-line treatment, especially for unresectable HCC, where studies like REFLECT showed it matched or outperformed standard options in survival and response rates.[3] Common doses are 8 mg or 12 mg daily based on body weight (under or over 60 kg).[3] Always take it exactly as prescribed, and discuss side effects like high blood pressure, fatigue, or diarrhea with your doctor. This program provides free medication to those who qualify, shipped directly to your home for a 30-day supply.[2] It's a lifeline for patients burdened by high costs—LENVIMA can be expensive without assistance. ## Who Qualifies? The program targets **uninsured or financially burdened patients** who meet financial need criteria.[1][2] U.S. citizenship or residency is required, and Social Security numbers are requested.[2] Medicare Part D patients may be eligible.[2] Commercially insured patients might use a separate co-pay program instead.[1] ### Income Eligibility Breakdown Specific income limits aren't publicly detailed—you must contact the program for exact thresholds based on Federal Poverty Level (FPL), household size, and medical expenses (which may be deductible).[2] Here's a general overview: | Household Size | Estimated Income Threshold | Notes | |---------------|----------------------------|-------| | Individual | Contact program (likely ≤400-500% FPL) | Financial need assessed case-by-case[2] | | Couple | Contact program | % FPL not published[2] | | Family of 3 | Contact program | Medical expenses may reduce countable income[2] | | Family of 4+ | Contact program | Household income evaluated[2] | Call (866) 613-4724 to confirm your situation.[2] No strict FPL percentage is listed, emphasizing flexibility for those with high medical costs.[1][2] ## Insurance Requirements - **Uninsured**: Fully eligible if income qualifies.[1] - **Commercially insured**: May not qualify for free drug; use co-pay assistance instead—bring co-pay card to pharmacy.[2] - **Medicare Part D**: Possible eligibility—program provides patient assistance.[2] - **Medicaid/Other government insurance**: Contact program; financial burden must be demonstrated.[1][2] Provide insurance details on the application regardless.[1] ## Step-by-Step Application Process Applications can be submitted multiple ways, including phone, fax, or mail.[1][2] Here's how: 1. **Gather Documents**: Proof of income (tax returns, pay stubs), residency (utility bill), valid prescription, insurance info (or proof of no insurance), physician's license/NPI/state, and prescriber signature.[2] 2. **Contact Program**: Call **(866) 613-4724** to start—discuss eligibility and get forms.[2] Provider phone and fax (1-855-246-5192) available.[2] 3. **Complete Form**: Doctor or provider fills sections; attach financial docs.
