Your monthly Erivedge cost savings if eligible

If you are eligible for the Erivedge patient assistance program you can get your medication for free. Our monthly flat rate of $49 per medication covers the cost of our services in applying for the program and requesting your ongoing refills on your behalf. If you obtain your Erivedge through NiceRx, you will only pay $49 a month regardless of the retail price of your medication.

Am I eligible for the Erivedge patient assistance program?

You could receive your Erivedge without paying the full retail price if you meet the eligibility criteria for assistance. This criteria is set by the pharmaceutical companies who are providing assistance programs. At NiceRx we review each application individually, although the main factors considered by most programs are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for Erivedge patient assistance?

We do everything that we can to take the hassle and stress out of applying for patient assistance programs. Simply start by filling in our enrollment application. We will ask for details about your healthcare provider, your insurance, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical companies you are applying to for assistance. We may also be able to help you access patient assistance for other medications that you have been prescribed, so be sure to tell us about any medications you are taking as well as Erivedge.

NiceRx will review the information you have provided, and if we determine that you may be eligible for assistance, we will seek to enroll you in the XXXX patient assistance program. We will handle the enrollment process for you by working with your healthcare provider and preparing all the required paperwork for your doctor to sign. We will also request your Erivedge medication refills on your behalf for up to 1 year once you are enrolled in the program.

Is NiceRx an Erivedge coupons provider?

At NiceRx, we help eligible individuals access the Erivedge patient assistance program. This means that we are not an Erivedge coupon, an Erivedge discount card, or an Erivedge copay card provider. We do not offer any medication trial offers, or free Erivedge samples.

Can NiceRx help me get Erivedge if I have insurance?

We may be able to help you if you have insurance, including if your insurance company will not pay for your Erivedge medication, or you have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility. We may even be able to assist if you do not have insurance. Please fill in our enrollment application to find out more.
