About This Medication

# Getting Help Paying for Reyvow (Lasmiditan): Your Guide to Affordable Migraine Treatment ## Important Update About Reyvow Assistance Currently, there is **no active manufacturer-run prescription assistance program (PAP)** directly from Eli Lilly for Reyvow. However, this guide will help you explore several proven ways to access this migraine medication at reduced or no cost. ## About Reyvow (Lasmiditan) Reyvow is a prescription medication used to treat acute migraine headaches in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs called 5-HT1F receptor agonists, which work by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing substances in the body that can trigger headaches, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms. Reyvow is taken as a tablet at the first sign of a migraine. ## Your Best Options for Affordable Reyvow ### Option 1: Reyvow Savings Card (Recommended First Step) **What It Is:** Eli Lilly offers a savings card program that can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. **How Much You Can Save:** Eligible patients may pay as little as $0-$40 per prescription, depending on your insurance coverage. **How to Get It:** - Visit https://reyvow.lilly.com/savings-support - Download and print the coupon or have your pharmacy look it up - Present the savings card at the pharmacy when filling your prescription - No application process required in most cases **Who Can Use It:** - Patients with commercial insurance - Some uninsured patients - Patients whose insurance denies coverage **Important Note:** The savings card cannot be combined with government insurance (Medicare, Medicaid), but if you have government insurance, ask your pharmacist about patient assistance programs specific to your state or through NeedyMeds.org. ### Option 2: State-Specific Assistance Programs Many states have pharmaceutical assistance programs that help low-income residents access medications. These programs are free and don't require you to apply through the manufacturer. **How to Find Them:** 1. Visit **NeedyMeds.org** and search for "pharmaceutical assistance programs" in your state 2. Contact your state's Department of Health or Human Services 3. Call 211 (a free helpline) for information about assistance programs in your area 4. Ask your pharmacist—they often know about state programs ### Option 3: Nonprofit Organizations Several nonprofit groups help uninsured and underinsured patients afford medications: - **Partnership for Prescription Assistance (pparx.org):** Database of programs; answers screening questions to match you with options - **NeedyMeds.org:** Comprehensive list of free/low-cost clinics, medication programs, and disease-specific organizations - **Patient Advocate Foundation:** Financial aid and information - **National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics:** Find local clinics that may prescribe or help you access Reyvow ### Option 4: Talk to Your Doctor Your healthcare provider may: - Have samples of Reyvow to give you while you arrange long-term coverage - Know about clinical trials or research studies (sometimes free medication) - Recommend an alternative migraine medication that may be more affordable - Write a prescription that helps you qualify for insurance coverage or assistance ### Option 5: Insurance Coverage Strategies **If Your Insurance Denies Reyvow:** - Ask your doctor to request a "prior authorization" or "appeal" explaining why Reyvow is medically necessary for you - Request a generic alternative if available (though there are currently no generic versions of lasmiditan) - Ask about step therapy—using other migraine drugs first, then requesting Reyvow if those don't work ## Income Eligibility Guidelines While Eli Lilly does not currently operate a direct PAP, state programs and nonprofits typically use these income thresholds: | Household Size | Maximum Annual Income (Federal Poverty Level) | 200% FPL (More Generous Programs) | |---|---|---| | 1 person | $14,580 | $29,160 | | 2 people | $19,720 | $39,440 | | 3 people | $24,860 | $49,720 | | 4 people | $30,000 | $60,000 | | 5 people | $35,140 | $70,280 | | 6 people | $40,280 | $80,560 | | 7 people | $45,420 | $90,840 | | 8 people | $50,560 | $101,120 | *Note: These thresholds vary by program.
