About This Medication

# Takeda Help At Hand Patient Guide: How to Get Mydayis at Low or No Cost Mydayis (mixed amphetamine salts) is a prescription medication used to treat **attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)** in patients 13 years and older. This guide explains Takeda's **Help At Hand** program, which provides **free Mydayis** to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients based on financial need.[1][7][10] ## About Mydayis **Mydayis** is an extended-release capsule containing mixed salts of a single-entity amphetamine product. It helps improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and control hyperactivity in ADHD by stimulating the central nervous system. Unlike shorter-acting stimulants, Mydayis is designed for once-daily dosing with effects lasting up to 16 hours, making it suitable for patients needing coverage throughout school or workdays.[6] **Important safety note**: Mydayis is a controlled substance (Schedule II) with risks of misuse, dependence, and side effects like increased heart rate, insomnia, or appetite loss. Always use as prescribed and discuss risks with your doctor. This guide focuses on access, not medical advice.[6] ## Who Qualifies for Takeda Help At Hand? The **Help At Hand** program targets patients with **no insurance or insufficient insurance** who cannot afford their Takeda medications, including Mydayis. All products are **free** for eligible patients. Applications are reviewed **case-by-case**.[1][2][7][10] Key eligibility criteria include: - U.S. resident (or U.S. territories). - Prescribed Mydayis by a U.S.-licensed physician for home use (not hospital/facility). - No or inadequate health coverage to obtain the medication. - Financial need, determined individually (specific income thresholds not publicly detailed; program assesses household income and size).[7][10] **Medicare Part D patients**: If income is below 150% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), apply for Medicare's **Extra Help** (Low-Income Subsidy) first and include denial letter. Those above 150% FPL do not need this.[7] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Takeda does not publish fixed income thresholds online; eligibility is evaluated **case-by-case** based on household income, size, and expenses. However, it's needs-based for uninsured/underinsured, often aligning with programs like Extra Help (up to 150% FPL for some).[7][10] For reference, here's a general **2026 Federal Poverty Level (FPL)** table (annual income; actual program uses current guidelines): | Household Size | 100% FPL | 150% FPL | 400% FPL (Common PAP Benchmark) | |---------------|----------|----------|--------------------------------| | 1 (Individual)| $15,060 | $22,590 | $60,240 | | 2 (Couple) | $20,440 | $30,660 | $81,760 | | 3 | $25,820 | $38,730 | $103,280 | | 4 | $31,200 | $46,800 | $124,800 | *Add ~$5,380 per additional person at 100% FPL. Program may consider higher incomes if high medical costs exist. Call to confirm.[7]* ## Insurance Requirements **Help At Hand** is for patients **without insurance** or with **insufficient coverage**. **Commercially insured** patients may qualify for Takeda's separate **Co-Pay Program** (as low as $5 per dose, up to 100% coverage, max benefit applies; excludes government insurance like Medicare/Medicaid).[2][3][4] **Not eligible** if covered by federal/state programs (Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE). Medications from Help At Hand **do not count** toward Medicare True Out-of-Pocket (TrOOP) costs.[4][10] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Verify eligibility**: Visit [helpathandpap.com](https://www.helpathandpap.com) and answer 5 short questions (info not retained).[7] 2. **Gather documents**: Proof of income (tax returns, pay stubs), residency, prescription, insurance denial (if applicable), Extra Help denial (Medicare patients).[10] 3. **Complete application**: Download from website or call **1-800-830-9159** (Mon-Fri, 8am-8pm ET).
