About This Medication

# WINLEVI® (clascoterone) Patient Guide: How to Get WINLEVI® at Low or No Cost WINLEVI® (clascoterone) cream 1% is a topical prescription treatment for acne vulgaris in people 12 years and older, offered through a **Co-Pay Savings Card program** by **Sun Pharmaceutical Industries** that helps eligible commercially insured patients pay as little as **$20-$200 per 60-gram tube**.[1][3] This guide explains eligibility, application steps, and tips to access WINLEVI® affordably, but note there is **no traditional free patient assistance program** for uninsured or low-income patients based on available details—check winlevi.com or call 1-800-818-4555 for updates.[1][5][6] ## About WINLEVI® and Why It Matters **WINLEVI®** is applied directly to the skin once or twice daily to treat acne by blocking androgen receptors that contribute to oil production and inflammation.[1][3] It's suitable for patients 12+ with acne vulgaris, including those who haven't responded well to other treatments. Common side effects include redness, itching, or burning at the application site—tell your doctor if you have skin conditions like eczema or are pregnant/breastfeeding, as safety data is limited.[1][3] Without insurance, a 60-gram tube costs around **$846**, making savings programs essential for many.[6][10] The **Co-Pay Savings Card** reduces costs significantly for those with commercial insurance, but government-insured patients need other options like discount cards.[1][3][6] ## Who Qualifies for the WINLEVI® Co-Pay Savings Program? This is a **copay assistance program**, not income-based aid. Key requirements:[1][3][9] - **Commercial (private) insurance** covering WINLEVI®. - **U.S. resident** (including Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands). - **Age 12+** with a valid prescription. - **Not eligible** if on Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or other government/federal programs. **No income thresholds** apply—it's designed for insured patients facing high copays, not the uninsured or low-income.[1][3] Sun Pharmaceutical does not list a free PAP for WINLEVI® on rxassist.org, unlike some other drugs.[5] Uninsured patients may use pharmacy discount cards (e.g., reducing to ~$559).[6][10] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown The program has **no income limits**—eligibility hinges on insurance type. Here's a simple table: | Household Size | Income Threshold | Notes | |----------------|------------------|-------| | Individual | None | Commercial insurance required; government insurance excluded.[1][3] | | Couple | None | Focus on copay reduction, not free meds.[1] | | Family of 3 | None | Check winlevi.com for updates.[1] | | Family of 4 | None | No FPL percentage specified.[5] | If uninsured, explore general resources like NeedyMeds or RxAssist, though no specific WINLEVI® PAP confirmed.[6][10] ## Insurance Requirements **Commercial insurance only**—present the card with your prescription at the pharmacy.[1][3][9] **Excluded**: Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, or any federal/state programs.[3] If government-insured, the card is invalid, but discuss alternatives with your doctor or pharmacist, like discount cards.[6][10] Prior authorization may be needed for insurance coverage—your provider can submit with acne severity details.[10] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Visit winlevi.com/savings** or talk to your doctor/HCP for the **Co-Pay Savings Card**.[1][2][4] 2. **Get your prescription** for WINLEVI® from your healthcare provider.[3] 3. **Activate/print the card** (digital or physical via site).[1][9] 4. **Present at pharmacy**: Show card, prescription, and insurance card. Pharmacist processes—pay as low as $20 for a 60g tube.[1][3] 5. **Call for help**: 1-877-264-2440 (8AM-8PM ET, Mon-Fri) for eligibility questions or issues.[9] **PhilRx** (third-party) may assist with fulfillment for some.[1] No mailed applications or extensive docs needed—just the card.[1][3] ## Timeline and Delivery **Instant at pharmacy**—no processing wait; copay applies per fill upon activation.[1][3] Refills work the same way with valid card/prescription. Delivery depends on your pharmacy (e.g., mail-order if chosen). Program terms can change; Sun reserves rights to amend.[9] Samples from your doctor can start treatment immediately.[10] ## Alternatives If Denied or Ineligible - **Discount cards**: SingleCare or GoodRx (~$559/tube).[6][10] - **General PAPs**: Check rxassist.org for Sun programs (not WINLEVI®-specific).[5][6] - **Prior auth appeal**: Doctor submits documentation of failed prior treatments.[10] - **Cash pay with coupons**: NowPatient or similar for uninsured.[7] - **Switch pharmacies**: Use tools to find stock/coupons.[10] - **Other acne treatments**: Discuss generics like retinoids with your doctor.
