# AstraZeneca Patient Assistance Program: How to Get TRUQAP (Capivasertib) at Low or No Cost ## About This Guide This guide explains how to access TRUQAP (capivasertib) through AstraZeneca's patient assistance program if you cannot afford your medication. TRUQAP is a prescription medication used in cancer treatment, and AstraZeneca is committed to ensuring eligible patients can access it regardless of financial circumstances. ## What is TRUQAP? TRUQAP (capivasertib) is a targeted cancer therapy medication prescribed by oncologists to treat specific types of cancer. Like many specialized medications, TRUQAP can be expensive, which is why AstraZeneca offers assistance programs to help patients afford their treatment. ## Who Can Qualify? AstraZeneca's patient assistance programs are designed for: - Uninsured patients - Underinsured patients with high out-of-pocket costs - Patients whose insurance does not cover TRUQAP - Patients who meet specific income requirements - US residents and citizens Your eligibility depends on your household income, insurance status, and other factors. AstraZeneca evaluates each application individually to determine qualification. ## Income Eligibility While specific income thresholds for TRUQAP's assistance program are not publicly detailed in standard resources, AstraZeneca typically uses federal poverty level guidelines to determine eligibility. Most programs consider: - Household size - Annual household income - Percentage of federal poverty level (often up to 400% for some programs) - State of residence **Important:** Income limits vary by program and may change. Contact AstraZeneca directly for current, specific income thresholds applicable to TRUQAP. ## Insurance Requirements AstraZeneca's patient assistance is available to: - Patients without health insurance - Patients with private insurance who face high copayments or deductibles - Medicare patients (with certain limitations) - Medicaid patients (program availability varies by state) If you have insurance, you may be required to try your insurance coverage first before qualifying for maximum assistance.
