VASCEPA® (icosapent ethyl) is available at a lower cost than generic icosapent ethyl for most patients

- Commercially insured patients can pay $9 or less† for branded VASCEPA using the VASCEPA Savings Card

- VASCEPA is the exclusive IPE for many nationally insured lives

- Certain plans lack coverage for generic icosapent ethyl and may block it altogether


Even eligible, commercially insured patients paying a generic tier copay may have their prescription cost reduced by using the VASCEPA Savings Card


If generic icosapent ethyl is rejected, rerun the patient's claim using these steps:

Step 1: Check if branded VASCEPA is being filled—if not, override the system with your patient's permission

Step 2: Check if the savings program is being utilized

For further savings, call the patient’s provider and ask if they can prescribe a 90-day supply of VASCEPA

Eligible, commercially insured patients can pay as little as $9 for a 90-day supply with the VASCEPA Savings Card. Subject to eligibility. Restrictions apply.

You can download the universal VASCEPA Savings Card at vascepahcp.com/savings.
