About This Medication

# Teva Cares Foundation Patient Guide: How to Get Teveten (eprosartan) at Low or No Cost Teveten (eprosartan), an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, helps treat high blood pressure (hypertension) by relaxing blood vessels to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure[1][2]. The **Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program** provides this medication at no cost to eligible U.S. patients who meet specific income and insurance criteria, ensuring cost is not a barrier to treatment[1][2][3]. ## About Teveten (Eprosartan) **Teveten** is prescribed for adults with hypertension, either alone or combined with other medications like diuretics. It works by blocking angiotensin II, a chemical that tightens blood vessels, helping to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and kidney problems associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure. Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, or headache—always consult your doctor for personalized advice. Teva confirms select medications like Teveten are available through their program; verify current availability on the Teva Cares website[1][2][5]. ## Who Qualifies for the Program? To qualify for free Teveten through the **Teva Cares Foundation**, you must meet these key criteria[2][3][4]: - Reside in the **United States** or its territories. - Have a **valid prescription** from a U.S.-licensed healthcare provider. - Meet **income limits**: For 2026 enrollment, household income at or below **300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)**. (Note: Patients with income <150% FPL must first apply for and be denied Low-Income Subsidy/Extra Help.) - Satisfy **insurance requirements** (detailed below). Applications are reviewed case-by-case, with no fees for applying, participating, or delivery[2]. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Eligibility hinges on pre-tax household income compared to the **Federal Poverty Level (FPL)**, updated annually. Effective 2026, all patients must be at or below **300% FPL**[3]. Use the table below for 2026 estimates (based on 2025 HHS guidelines; check tevacares.org for exact figures). | Household Size | 100% FPL | 300% FPL (Max Eligible Income) | |----------------|----------|-------------------------------| | 1 (Individual) | $15,060 | **$45,180** | | 2 (Couple) | $20,440 | **$61,320** | | 3 | $25,820 | **$77,460** | | 4 | $31,200 | **$93,600** | | +1 per member | +$5,380 | **+$16,140** | *Proof of income required: Recent tax returns, W-2s, pay stubs (last 4 weeks), or benefit statements (e.g., Social Security award letters). Include all household income sources*[3][6]. ## Insurance Requirements - **No prescription drug coverage?** You're likely eligible if other criteria are met[3][4]. - **Have insurance?** Provide details; you may still qualify if uninsured for prescriptions or if prior authorization/denial letters are submitted. Medicare Part D or employer plans that cover Teveten may disqualify you[2][3]. - **LIS/Extra Help:** If income <150% FPL, submit denial proof from Medicare's Low-Income Subsidy program first[3].
