SUNOSI On My Side Program Patient Guide: How to Get SUNOSI at Low or No Cost

About This Program

The SUNOSI On My Side Program is a patient assistance program offered by Axsome Therapeutics, Inc., the manufacturer of SUNOSI (solriamfetol). This program helps eligible patients access SUNOSI at reduced or no cost if they meet specific financial and insurance criteria. SUNOSI is a prescription medication used to improve wakefulness in adults with excessive daytime sleepiness caused by narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea.[9]

Who Qualifies for SUNOSI On My Side?

To be eligible for the SUNOSI On My Side Program, you must meet all of the following criteria:[6]

• Have a valid prescription for SUNOSI from a licensed US healthcare provider for an FDA-approved indication
• Reside in the United States or a US territory
• Have no insurance coverage or be functionally uninsured (meaning your insurance does not cover SUNOSI)
• Meet income guidelines based on the current Federal Poverty Level
• Be treated by a licensed US healthcare provider

Understanding "Functionally Uninsured"

You may qualify as "functionally uninsured" even if you have health insurance. This typically means your insurance plan does not provide coverage for SUNOSI, or your out-of-pocket costs are prohibitively high. If you're unsure whether you qualify, contact the program directly at (855) 888-4624 to discuss your specific situation.

Income Eligibility

The SUNOSI On My Side Program uses income thresholds based on the current Federal Poverty Level to determine eligibility.[6] However, the specific income limits are not publicly disclosed. Instead, you'll provide proof of income during the application process, and the program will evaluate whether you meet their guidelines.

What counts as proof of income?

Common documentation includes:

• Recent tax returns (last 2 years)
• Pay stubs or W-2 forms
• Social Security statements
• Unemployment benefits documentation
• Other government assistance letters

The program will review your household income and size to determine eligibility. If you have questions about whether your income qualifies, the program team can provide guidance during the application process.

Insurance Requirements

This program is designed for patients who are uninsured or functionally uninsured. If you have commercial insurance that covers SUNOSI, you may be eligible for the SUNOSI Savings Card instead, which allows eligible commercially insured patients to pay as little as $9 for up to 90 days of medication.[2]

If you have Medicare, you may also explore other options:

• Medicare Extra Help/Low-Income Subsidy program for Part D coverage
• Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (available as of January 1, 2025)
• State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs

Contact the program at (855) 888-4624 to discuss which option is best for your situation.

How to Apply: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Get a Prescription

Work with your healthcare provider to obtain a valid prescription for SUNOSI. Your provider must be a licensed US healthcare provider and prescribe SUNOSI for an FDA-approved indication (narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea-related excessive daytime sleepiness).

Step 2: Gather Required Documents

Collect the following before starting your application:[6]

• Completed SUNOSI On My Side Patient Assistance Program application form
• Proof of income (tax returns, pay stubs, Social Security statements, etc.)
• Your prescription (note: the prescription cannot be included in the application form itself due to SUNOSI being a controlled substance)

Step 3: Complete the Application Form

Obtain the application form from your healthcare provider or by calling (855) 888-4624. The form requires:

• Your personal information
• Household income details
• Insurance status
• Your healthcare provider's information and signature

Step 4: Submit Your Application

You have two options for submission:[6]

Option A: Fax

• Fax the completed application form (pages 2-4) to (866) 545-1168
• Include your proof of income documentation

Option B: Online Portal

• Upload your completed application to the Axsome Provider Portal at www.AxsomeProviderPortal.com
• Your healthcare provider can assist with this submission

Step 5: Submit Your Prescription Separately

Because SUNOSI is a controlled substance, your prescription must be submitted separately from the application form. Your healthcare provider will handle this submission to the program's pharmacy.

Step 6: Await Approval

The program will review your application and notify you of your status within 7-10 business days.[6]

Timeline and Medication Delivery

Application Processing: 7-10 business days from submission

Medication Delivery: Once approved, your SUNOSI will be shipped directly to you. The program's pharmacy will handle dispensing and delivery.

Contact Information: If you need to check on your application status or have questions, call (855) 888-4624 Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM ET.
