About This Medication

# ApellisAssist Guide: Getting Syfovre at Low Cost ## What is ApellisAssist? ApellisAssist is a prescription assistance program created by Apellis Pharmaceuticals to help patients afford Syfovre (pegcetacoplan), a medication used to treat geographic atrophy (GA), a serious form of age-related macular degeneration that can cause vision loss. If you have difficulty paying for Syfovre, ApellisAssist may help you get the medication at a reduced cost or free of charge. ## Who Can Apply? You may qualify for ApellisAssist if you meet one of these criteria: **Commercially Insured Patients** If you have private health insurance (not Medicare, Medicaid, VA/DoD, or TRICARE), you can apply regardless of your income. ApellisAssist can help cover copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles so you pay less out of pocket. **Uninsured or Underinsured Patients** If you don't have insurance or your insurance doesn't cover Syfovre adequately, you may qualify based on your household income. Income limits vary by family size and are reviewed during the application process. Generally, the program serves patients with limited financial resources who cannot afford the full cost of medication. **Important Eligibility Note** ApellisAssist does not accept government insurance patients (Medicare, Medicaid, VA/DoD, or TRICARE). If you have one of these insurance types, speak with your healthcare provider about other options for medication assistance. ## How to Apply for ApellisAssist **Step 1: Gather Your Documents** Before calling, have the following ready: - A valid prescription from your doctor for Syfovre - Proof of household income (recent tax return, pay stubs, or benefit statements) - Your insurance card (if applicable) - Your contact information **Step 2: Call to Apply** Contact ApellisAssist by phone at **(888) 273-5547**. A representative will guide you through the application over the phone. The call typically takes 15-20 minutes. **Step 3: Answer Eligibility Questions** The representative will ask about your household income, insurance status, and medical history. Be honest and detailed—this information determines your eligibility and the level of assistance you receive. **Step 4: Receive Your Approval** Once your application is processed (usually within 2-3 business days), you'll receive written confirmation. You can then use ApellisAssist benefits immediately when you fill your prescription. ## What Happens After Approval? Once approved, you don't need to reauthorize each time you refill your prescription. Your ApellisAssist benefits continue as long as your circumstances don't change significantly. Simply present your information at the pharmacy when filling each Syfovre prescription. ## Savings Card Option In addition to the full assistance program, ApellisAssist offers a **savings card** for eligible patients. The card can reduce your out-of-pocket costs even if you don't qualify for full assistance. Ask about the savings card when you call. ## What You'll Pay **For Commercially Insured Patients** Your copayment, coinsurance, or deductible may be reduced to as little as $0, depending on your plan and income. **For Uninsured/Underinsured Patients** Your cost depends on your household income. Those with very limited income may receive Syfovre free. Others may pay a small monthly amount based on a sliding scale. No patient is turned away due to inability to pay. ## Timeline for Approval - **Application call:** 15-20 minutes - **Processing time:** 2-3 business days - **Start using benefits:** Immediately after approval - **Reauthorization:** Not required annually ## Questions About Your Application?
