About This Medication
# Radius Assist Patient Guide: How to Get TYMLOS at Low or No Cost ## About TYMLOS (Abaloparatide) TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection is an FDA-approved medication used to treat osteoporosis in patients at high risk of fractures. The Radius Assist Patient Assistance Program helps qualified patients obtain this medication at no cost when they cannot afford it through their insurance or out-of-pocket. ## Who Qualifies for Radius Assist? To be eligible for the Radius Assist program, you must meet all of the following requirements: - Have an FDA-approved, on-label diagnosis for TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection - Be a legal resident of the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico - Have an annual household income below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) - Have a valid prescription from your healthcare provider - Meet specific insurance requirements (see Insurance Eligibility section below) ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Your household income must be less than 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. The Federal Poverty Level changes annually and varies based on household size. To find the current year's poverty guidelines and calculate your eligibility, visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website at https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines. For example, if the current Federal Poverty Level for a family of four is $30,000, then 300% of that would be $90,000. Your household income must be below this threshold to qualify. | Household Size | 100% FPL | 300% FPL (Eligibility Threshold) | |---|---|---| | 1 person | Varies by year | Varies by year | | 2 people | Varies by year | Varies by year | | 3 people | Varies by year | Varies by year | | 4 people | Varies by year | Varies by year | *Note: Visit https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines for current year thresholds* ## Insurance Requirements Radius Assist has specific insurance eligibility rules: **You may be eligible if you are:** - Uninsured - Commercially insured but your plan does not cover TYMLOS - A Medicare Part D beneficiary (most Medicare Part D patients have access to TYMLOS, but individual plan requirements vary) **You are NOT eligible if you are enrolled in:** - Medicaid - TRICARE - Veterans Health Administration (VA) - Indian Health Service If you have commercial insurance, note that TYMLOS is covered by 90% of commercial insurance plans.
