About This Medication

# Deciphera AccessPoint Guide: Getting QINLOCK at Low Cost ## What is QINLOCK? QINLOCK (ripretinib) is a prescription medication used to treat advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). It's an important treatment option for patients who haven't responded to other therapies. However, QINLOCK can be expensive, which is why Deciphera Pharmaceuticals offers the Deciphera AccessPoint Patient Assistance Program to help eligible patients access this medication affordably or at no cost. ## Who Can Apply? You may qualify for the Deciphera AccessPoint program if: - You have been prescribed QINLOCK by your doctor - You are a U.S. resident - Your household income falls within the program's guidelines (income limits vary based on family size and are adjusted annually) - You have no insurance coverage for QINLOCK, OR your health plan does not cover the medication - You have Medicare Part D and meet specific criteria (some Medicare patients may qualify) The program is designed to help uninsured patients and those whose insurance won't cover QINLOCK. ## Income Guidelines Qualification is based on your household income. Income limits vary depending on your family size and are updated yearly. Typical thresholds range from approximately $47,000 to $94,000 for individuals and families, though exact limits change annually. You'll need to verify current limits when you apply at https://www.decipheraaccesspoint.com/patient/qinlock. If your income exceeds current limits, you may still be eligible based on other factors—contact the program directly to discuss your situation. ## How to Apply **Step 1: Gather Required Documents** You'll need: - Proof of income (recent tax return, pay stubs, or benefit statements) - A valid prescription for QINLOCK from your doctor - Your insurance information (if applicable) **Step 2: Complete the Application** Visit the program website at https://www.decipheraaccesspoint.com/patient/qinlock and complete the enrollment form.

Your benefits continue as long as your circumstances remain the same. **Savings Card Option**: Even if you have insurance, you may qualify for the QINLOCK savings card to reduce copayments. **Medicare Part D**: Some patients with Medicare Part D coverage may qualify for assistance.
