About This Medication

# Leqselvi Support Patient Guide: How to Get Leqselvi at Low or No Cost Leqselvi (deuruxolitinib) is an oral medication approved by the FDA for adults with **severe alopecia areata**, a condition causing significant hair loss. The **Leqselvi Support** program from Sun Pharma helps eligible patients access Leqselvi for as little as **$0 per month** through copay assistance or a free Patient Assistance Program (PAP).[1][7][8] ## About Leqselvi Leqselvi is a **Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor** tablet taken twice daily to treat severe alopecia areata in adults. Clinical trials showed one-third of patients regaining 80% or more scalp hair coverage by week 24, with some seeing results as early as 8 weeks.[4][6][7] It's prescribed by dermatologists or other providers and dispensed through specialty pharmacies after insurance approval. **Important notes:** Leqselvi is for adults only—safety in children is unknown. Before starting, your doctor will order lab tests like a complete blood count and a **CYP2C9 genotyping test** (covered by Sun Pharma via LabCorp or Quest). It's not recommended for poor CYP2C9 metabolizers, those with low blood counts, severe kidney/liver issues, or certain infections.[6][9] ## Who Qualifies for Leqselvi Support? Leqselvi Support offers two main paths: - **Copay Assistance:** For patients with **commercial health insurance** who qualify, pay as little as $0/month.[1] - **Patient Assistance Program (PAP):** Free medication for those who can't afford it, often uninsured or underinsured without other options.[5][8] Eligibility focuses on insurance type and financial need rather than strict income limits (specific Federal Poverty Level percentages not publicly detailed).[8] A dedicated **Patient Access Liaison** helps navigate the process.[7] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Detailed income thresholds aren't specified online, but PAP typically targets low-income patients qualifying under general pharmaceutical assistance guidelines. Contact the program for personalized assessment. | Household Size | Estimated Income Threshold | Notes | |---------------|----------------------------|-------| | Individual | Not specified | Based on FPL; call for details | | Couple | Not specified | Financial need assessed case-by-case | | Family of 3 | Not specified | Uninsured/underinsured prioritized | | Family of 4+ | Not specified | Sun Pharma evaluates holistically | *Table based on standard PAP structures; confirm with program as specifics unavailable.*[5][8] ## Insurance Requirements - **Commercial Insurance:** Primary focus for copay cards—reduces out-of-pocket to $0 for eligible patients.[1][6] - **Medicare/Medicaid:** Likely ineligible for copay help (federal rules prohibit); PAP may assist if no coverage.[8] - **Prior Authorization (PA):** Required for most insurances. Leqselvi Support helps with electronic PA via Surescripts, benefits investigation, and appeals.[6][8] Your doctor coordinates with a specialty pharmacy post-approval. ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Talk to Your Doctor:** Get a Leqselvi prescription.
