About This Medication

# Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program: How to Get Nuvigil at Low or No Cost ## About This Program The **Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program** is an independent charitable organization that provides certain Teva medications, including Nuvigil (armodafinil), at no cost to eligible patients in the United States[2]. This program has helped thousands of patients obtain Teva medicines across various therapeutic areas, removing financial barriers to treatment[2]. There is no fee to apply, participate in the program, or receive medication delivery[2]. ## Who Can Apply? You may qualify for the Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program if you meet all of the following criteria: - **U.S. Residency**: You must currently reside in the United States or its territories[1] - **Valid Prescription**: You must have a valid prescription for Nuvigil from a licensed healthcare provider practicing in the United States[1] - **Insurance Status**: You must be uninsured or underinsured without prescription drug coverage[1] - **Income Eligibility**: Your total household income must meet the program's income requirements (see Income Eligibility section below)[1] If your insurance requires prior authorization or a formulary exception for Nuvigil, you must pursue those options first and provide documentation of the outcome with your application[5]. ## Income Eligibility Requirements Effective January 31, 2025, all new patients applying to the Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program must have a total pre-tax household income at or below **300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)**[1]. For 2026 enrollment, all patients will be assessed under these guidelines[1]. The following table shows the maximum annual household income limits based on household size: | Household Size | Maximum Annual Income | |---|---| | 1 person | $34,470 | | 2 people | $46,530 | | 3 people | $58,590 | | 4 people | $70,650 | | 5 people | $82,710 | *Note: These figures are based on 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. For households larger than 5 people, contact the program directly at 877-237-4881 for income limits[4].* If your household income is less than 150% of the Federal Poverty Level, you must first apply for the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS/Extra Help) program and submit proof of denial before Teva Cares can consider your application[1]. ## Insurance Requirements You must provide information about any healthcare insurance or prescription drug coverage you have[1]. The program is designed for patients who are: - **Uninsured** (no health insurance at all) - **Underinsured** (have health insurance but no prescription drug coverage) - **Without Medicare Part D coverage** (if you are a Medicare beneficiary)[7] If you do not have insurance or prescription drug coverage, indicate this on your application[1]. If your insurance requires prior authorization or a formulary exception for Nuvigil, you must obtain the outcome letter from your insurance company and include it with your application—the application will not be processed without this documentation[1]. ## Required Documents Before you apply, gather the following documents: - **Valid prescription** for Nuvigil from your healthcare provider - **Proof of income** from all sources for all household members (such as recent pay stubs, tax returns, or Social Security statements)[5] - **Proof of residency** (utility bill, lease agreement, or similar document) - **Proof of insurance status** (insurance card, denial letter, or statement that you are uninsured) - **Prior authorization/formulary exception outcome letter** (if applicable)[5] ## How to Apply You and your physician must complete the application together.
