About This Medication

# Tepezza Savings Guide: Getting Teprotumumab at Low Cost ## About This Program Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw) is an important treatment for thyroid eye disease (TED), a serious eye condition that can affect your vision and quality of life. We understand that the cost of this medication can be a significant concern. While Amgen does not currently operate a manufacturer assistance program for Tepezza, there are still ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs through a Tepezza savings card. ## Who Can Use the Savings Card? The Tepezza savings card is designed to help patients who: - Have commercial health insurance (private insurance plans) - Are willing to pay a small copay instead of the full medication cost - Have a valid prescription from their doctor **Important:** This savings card does NOT work with government-funded insurance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, or Veterans Affairs (VA) coverage. ## How Much Can You Save? The savings card can significantly reduce your copay amount. Instead of paying the full price for your Tepezza infusions, you'll pay a reduced copay. The exact savings depend on your insurance plan and your specific prescription, but many patients save hundreds of dollars per infusion. ## What You Need to Get Started Gathering the right documents makes the process smooth and fast: 1. **Valid Prescription**: Your eye doctor or endocrinologist must provide a prescription for Tepezza 2. **Proof of Insurance**: A current insurance card or insurance documentation showing you have commercial coverage 3. **Contact Information**: Your phone number and mailing address so the program can reach you Unlike many assistance programs, you typically do NOT need to provide proof of income to use the savings card. ## Step-by-Step Application Process **Step 1: Get Your Prescription** Your doctor must write a prescription for Tepezza.
