About This Medication

# SK Life Science Navigator Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get XCOPRI (cenobamate) at Low or No Cost XCOPRI (cenobamate tablets) CV is a prescription medication used to treat partial-onset seizures in adult patients, and the **SK Life Science Navigator Patient Assistance Program (PAP)** offers it for free to eligible uninsured, underinsured, or financially burdened patients.[1][2] This guide explains everything you need to know about qualifying for and applying to the program in simple terms. Whether you're newly diagnosed with epilepsy or struggling with medication costs, this program from **SK Life Science** can help you access XCOPRI without breaking the bank.[1][4] ## About XCOPRI (cenobamate) **XCOPRI** is an anti-seizure medication (ASM) specifically indicated for partial-onset (focal) seizures in adults. It works differently from many other ASMs by targeting sodium channels and GABA receptors to help reduce seizure frequency.[2][6] Unlike some medications, XCOPRI can often be started as initial therapy—3 out of 4 patients have access without needing to fail other treatments first.[2] Key facts: - **Dosing**: Starts low and titrates up slowly to minimize side effects like dizziness or somnolence. - **Coverage**: 9 out of 10 commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid patients have coverage, with most paying $0-$20 copay.[2] - **Trial offer**: New patients may get their first month free through a starter program.[2] **Important safety note**: XCOPRI can cause serious side effects, including allergic reactions like severe rash (DRESS syndrome), shortness of breath, or neurological symptoms. Always follow your doctor's instructions and report issues immediately. Talk to your healthcare provider about risks.[1][8] ## Who Qualifies for the SK Life Science Navigator PAP? The program provides **free XCOPRI** to patients who meet strict criteria:[1][5] - **US resident** (some sources specify US citizenship).[1][5] - **On-label diagnosis**: Partial-onset seizures in adults. - **Financial need**: Must meet financial threshold (specific income limits not publicly detailed; assessed via application).[1] - **Insurance status**: Uninsured, underinsured, functionally uninsured, or experiencing financial hardship.[1][4] This isn't for everyone with insurance—it's targeted at those who can't afford it despite coverage, like high copays or denials.[1][8] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Exact income thresholds aren't listed publicly, as eligibility is determined case-by-case based on household income, expenses, and hardship.[1] However, the program emphasizes financial hardship, similar to federal poverty guidelines adjusted for family size. Here's a general guide based on typical PAP standards (confirm with program for XCOPRI specifics): | Household Size | Estimated Max Annual Income (300-400% FPL)* | |----------------|--------------------------------------------| | 1 | $45,000 - $60,000 | | 2 | $60,000 - $80,000 | | 3 | $75,000 - $100,000 | | 4 | $90,000 - $120,000 | | +1 per member | +$15,000 - $20,000 | *Federal Poverty Level (FPL) varies yearly; add proof of debts/expenses for flexibility. Call (866) 756-2844 to verify.[1][3] ## Insurance Requirements You may qualify if:[1][4][8] - **Uninsured**: No prescription or health coverage. - **Underinsured/Functionally uninsured**: Insurance denies coverage, high copays (e.g., Medicare Part D over $2,100 out-of-pocket cap), or coverage gaps. - **Financial hardship**: Can't afford even with insurance. Medicare patients: Consider Extra Help (LIS) for low copays (<$15/script).
