# Patient Access Network Foundation (PAN) Patient Guide: How to Get Toprol XL (metoprolol succinate) at Low or No Cost Toprol XL (metoprolol succinate) is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and heart failure by slowing the heart rate and reducing blood pressure.[1][4] The **Patient Access Network Foundation (PAN)** offers financial assistance to help eligible patients cover out-of-pocket costs for Toprol XL, provided through grants that can be used like a debit card at the pharmacy.[1][8] ## Who Qualifies for PAN Assistance with Toprol XL? PAN provides grants for patients taking **Toprol XL** for a covered diagnosis, such as hypertension or heart conditions, as long as the medication is listed under the relevant disease fund.[4] Key eligibility criteria include: - **Medical Requirements**: You must have a medically appropriate diagnosis (e.g., ICD-10 code for your condition) and be actively receiving treatment, have received treatment in the last 90 days, or have treatment scheduled within the next 120 days.[1][4] - **Insurance**: You **must have health insurance** that covers Toprol XL.
