About This Medication

# Teva Cares Foundation Patient Guide: How to Get AJOVY at Low or No Cost ## About AJOVY AJOVY (fremanezumab-vfrm) is a prescription medication used to prevent migraines before they start. It belongs to a class of drugs called CGRP inhibitors, which work by blocking a protein in the brain that is involved in migraine pain. AJOVY is administered as a monthly or quarterly injection and has been shown to significantly reduce the number of migraine days for many patients. While AJOVY can be highly effective, it can also be expensive. If you're struggling to afford this medication, the Teva Cares Foundation Prescription Assistance Program (PAP) may be able to help you get AJOVY at low or no cost. ## Who Qualifies? You may qualify for assistance through the Teva Cares Foundation if you: - Have a valid prescription for AJOVY from your doctor - Are a U.S. resident - Are uninsured or underinsured (unable to afford AJOVY even with insurance) - Meet the income requirements (see table below) - Are not eligible for Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs (or cannot afford your cost-sharing) ## Income Eligibility Your household income must fall below the thresholds listed below. Income limits vary based on your household size and are updated annually. | Household Size | Maximum Annual Income | |---|---| | 1 person | $40,000 | | 2 people | ~$54,000 | | 3 people | ~$68,000 | | 4 people | ~$82,000 | | Each additional person | +$14,000 | *Note: These are approximate guidelines. Income thresholds may vary and are subject to change. Contact the program directly for exact limits.* ## Insurance Requirements The Teva Cares Foundation assists both uninsured and insured patients: - **Uninsured patients**: You must be uninsured to qualify - **Insured patients**: You may qualify if your insurance does not cover AJOVY or if your out-of-pocket costs (copayments, coinsurance, deductibles) are too high for you to afford - **Medicare/Medicaid patients**: Generally, government program beneficiaries are not eligible, but exceptions may apply if you have high cost-sharing requirements ## How to Apply The Teva Cares Foundation offers multiple ways to apply: ### Step 1: Gather Required Documents Before you start your application, collect the following: - **Valid prescription** for AJOVY from your doctor (written or electronic) - **Proof of income** (recent pay stubs, tax returns, or benefit statements) - **Proof of residency** (utility bill, lease agreement, or government-issued ID) - **Insurance information** (insurance card or written statement that you are uninsured) - **Completed application form** (available on the program website) ### Step 2: Complete Your Application You can apply online, by phone, or by mail: - **Online**: Visit https://www.tevacares.org and complete the digital application - **By Phone**: Call (877) 237-4881 to speak with a representative who can help you apply over the phone - **By Mail**: Download the application form from the website, complete it, and mail it along with supporting documents ### Step 3: Submit Your Application If applying online or by phone, you can submit documents electronically or by fax.
