About This Medication

# MyPRALUENT Patient Assistance Program (PAP) Patient Guide: How to Get PRALUENT (alirocumab) at Low or No Cost PRALUENT (alirocumab) is a prescription injection used to lower **LDL cholesterol** (bad cholesterol) in adults with high cholesterol or cardiovascular disease, helping reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or unstable angina. The **MyPRALUENT Patient Assistance Program (PAP)** from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. provides free PRALUENT for up to 12 months to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients meeting income limits, making this vital medication accessible without financial burden.[1][3] ## About PRALUENT and Why Assistance Matters PRALUENT is a PCSK9 inhibitor given as a self-administered subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks, available in pre-filled pens (75 mg/mL or 150 mg/mL, 2-pack). It's for adults who need extra cholesterol-lowering beyond diet and statins, especially those with established heart disease.[5][7] High cholesterol affects millions, raising heart risks, but costs can exceed $500/month without help. The MyPRALUENT PAP bridges this gap for qualifying patients, offering free medication shipped directly to your home. Commercially insured patients may use the copay card instead, paying as little as **$50/month** up to $3,500/year.[1][2][3] ## Who Qualifies? To qualify for the PAP, you must: - Be uninsured, lack pharmacy coverage for PRALUENT, or have Medicare Part D with over **$500 out-of-pocket (OOP)** spent. - Meet **income limits** at 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) for the 48 contiguous states and DC. - Reside in the US (Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico: call for limits). - Have a valid prescription from a licensed provider. Patients undergo a soft credit check; reenrollments are allowed if eligible.[3][4] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Income thresholds are based on **300% FPL** (2026 guidelines assumed; verify current via program). Limits apply to household income before taxes. | Household Size | Annual Income Limit | |----------------|---------------------| | 1 (Individual) | $46,950 | | 2 (Couple) | $63,450 | | 3 | Contact program | | 4 | Contact program | *Notes: Add ~$10,000 per additional member.
