About This Medication

# Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation Guide: How to Get LEQVIO at Low or No Cost ## About LEQVIO (Inclisiran) LEQVIO is a prescription medication used to help lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Because LEQVIO is administered by your doctor as an injection rather than taken at home, it is typically covered under your medical insurance benefit rather than your pharmacy benefit. The list price for uninsured patients is $3,587.73 per dose[4]. ## Financial Assistance Options Novartis offers multiple ways to help make LEQVIO affordable: ### LEQVIO Co-pay Program (For Patients with Commercial Insurance) If you have commercial insurance through an employer or private insurance (PPO, HMO, etc.), you may be eligible for the **LEQVIO Co-pay Program**[4]. This program has helped 75% of commercial patients pay less than $10 per dose, with 86% of participants paying $0[4]. **Eligibility Requirements:** - You must have active commercial insurance coverage - LEQVIO must be covered by your insurance plan - The program is not valid under Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, DoD, or other federal/state health care programs[5] **How to Enroll:** - Visit start.leqvio.com or call 1-833-LEQVIO2 (1-833-537-8462)[4] - Enrollment is quick and can be completed online or by phone - You'll receive a co-pay card with your savings benefits ### Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation (NPAF) - For Uninsured/Underinsured Patients If you don't have insurance or cannot afford your medication even with insurance, the **Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation** may provide LEQVIO at no cost[1]. ## Income Eligibility To qualify for NPAF assistance, you must meet income guidelines that vary by state. Alaska and Hawaii have different income limits than other states[1]. The search results do not provide specific income thresholds, but you can check your eligibility directly through the NPAF website or by contacting the LEQVIO Service Center. ## Who Qualifies for NPAF Assistance You may be eligible if you meet ALL of the following criteria[1]: - Reside in the United States or a U.S. Territory - Are treated by a licensed U.S. healthcare provider on an outpatient basis - Meet the income guidelines for your state - Do not have adequate insurance coverage or cannot afford your medication ## Step-by-Step Application Process The NPAF application process is straightforward and typically takes about 4 weeks[1]: **Step 1: Check Your Eligibility** Visit the NPAF website or call the LEQVIO Service Center at 1-833-LEQVIO2 (1-833-537-8462) to determine if you may qualify based on your income and circumstances. **Step 2: Complete Your Application** You and your healthcare provider will each need to complete your section of the application. Your provider can help submit their portion. **Step 3: Submit Required Documentation** You'll need to provide proof of income and any other documentation requested by NPAF. Only you, your legal guardian, or your caregiver may enroll you in the program—healthcare providers, pharmacies, and pharmacy benefit managers cannot enroll you[1]. **Step 4: Receive Your Decision** You will receive a letter with the outcome of your application within 4 weeks[1]. If your application is incomplete, you'll receive a letter with next steps and may also receive a text message if you've opted in. ## Required Documentation NPAF requires the following to process your application[1]: - Proof of income (such as recent tax returns, pay stubs, or benefit statements) - Evidence of Extra Help denial (if applicable) - Any other documentation deemed necessary by NPAF ## Insurance Requirements **For the Co-pay Program:** You must have active commercial insurance, and LEQVIO must be covered by your plan[5]. **For NPAF Assistance:** You should not have adequate insurance coverage, or your out-of-pocket costs should be unaffordable.
