About This Medication

# Savaysa Patient Assistance Program Guide ## Overview Savaysa (edoxaban) is a blood thinner medication used to prevent blood clots in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism. If you're struggling to afford this medication, the Daiichi Sankyo Access Central program can help. This patient assistance program provides free or reduced-cost Savaysa to eligible individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or Medicare Part D patients facing high out-of-pocket costs. ## Who Can Apply? You may be eligible for assistance if you meet these criteria: - **Uninsured or underinsured** - You lack health insurance or your current coverage doesn't adequately cover Savaysa - **Medicare Part D patients** - You're enrolled in Medicare and struggling with medication costs - **Income-based eligibility** - Your household income falls within program limits (varies by household size and location) The program also offers a savings card option for insured patients looking to reduce their copays and out-of-pocket expenses. ## Income Eligibility Guidelines Income limits vary based on your household size and location. While exact thresholds depend on current federal poverty guidelines, here's a general reference: | Household Size | Approximate Annual Income Limit | |---|---| | 1 person | Varies by state | | 2 people | Varies by state | | 3 people | Varies by state | | 4 people | Varies by state | | 5+ people | Varies by state | **Note:** Contact the program directly at **(800) 850-4506** for your specific income threshold, as limits vary significantly by location and are updated annually. ## Required Documentation When applying, you'll need to provide: 1. **Financial Documentation** - Recent pay stubs (last 2 months) - Tax return from previous year - Bank statements or proof of assets - Other income sources (Social Security, disability, etc.) 2. **Physician Information** - Your doctor's DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) number - Your doctor's NPI (National Provider Identifier) - Current prescription for Savaysa 3. **Personal Information** - Valid photo ID - Proof of citizenship or residency - Insurance information (if applicable) ## How to Apply **Step 1: Contact the Program** Call **(800) 850-4506** or visit **https://daiichisankyo.us/patient-assistance-programs** to request an application. **Step 2: Gather Required Documents** Collect financial and physician documentation listed above.

The program doesn't require reauthorization, meaning once approved, you won't need to reapply annually—though you may need to provide updated financial information if requested. ## Savings Card Option If you have insurance but still struggle with copays, ask your pharmacist about the Savaysa savings card.
