This program aims to help eligible patients receive their medications at no cost. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the details of the Sunovion Support® program, including eligibility criteria, the application process, and important updates. Let’s dive in and discover how Sunovion Support® can make a difference in your life.

Understanding Sunovion Support Prescription Assistance Program

The Sunovion Support Prescription Assistance Program is designed to provide eligible individuals with up to 12 prescription fills per year at no cost. This patient assistance program is available to patients who have a valid prescription for Sunovion medications. It aims to alleviate the financial burden of prescription costs and ensure that individuals can access the medications they need to maintain their health.

Eligibility criteria

To determine if you or someone you care for is eligible for the Sunovion Support® Prescription Assistance Program, you need to meet specific criteria. Here are the key eligibility requirements:

  • You must be a resident of the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands
  • Applicants must be 18 years of age or older
  • You should be under the care of a U.S. healthcare professional who has provided a valid prescription for a Sunovion medication
  • Individuals without prescription insurance coverage, including Medicare and Medicaid, are eligible for the program
  • Applicants should have a household income within 300% of the federal poverty level. For the most current income thresholds, you can refer to the official poverty guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

It’s crucial to note that Sunovion reserves the right to modify the Sunovion Support® program at any time, so staying updated is essential.

The application process

Applying for the Sunovion Support® Prescription Assistance Program is a straightforward process. By following the steps below, you can easily determine your eligibility and submit your application for consideration.

Step 1: Checking eligibility

Before beginning the application process, it’s important to determine if you or the person you care for meets the eligibility criteria. You can do this by visiting the official Sunovion Support® website or contacting the toll-free number at 1-877-850-0819 to speak with a Sunovion Support® Specialist.

Step 2: Completing the application form

Once you have confirmed eligibility, the next step is to fill out the application form. There are several ways to obtain the form. You can access it through the official Sunovion Support® website or request it by calling the toll-free number provided. When completing the application form, you will need to include proof of income. This can be in the form of the most recent federal tax return, Social Security Statement, or a Verification of Non-Filing if the patient has not filed a Federal Tax Return.

Step 3: Healthcare professional involvement

For the application process to be complete, the patient’s healthcare professional must also play a role. They need to fill out their section of the application form, sign it, and include the patient’s prescription. It’s crucial to ensure that all required information is accurately provided to avoid any delays or missing documents.

Step 4: Submitting the application

Once the application form is completed, it’s time to submit it. You can mail the application form, along with the required documents, to the address provided by Sunovion Support®. Alternatively, you can fax the application and documents to the designated fax number. It’s essential to double-check that all necessary documents are included to ensure the application is complete.

Step 5: Application processing

After submitting your application, it will go through a thorough review process to determine your eligibility for the Sunovion Support® program. The program administrators will verify that all requested documents are included and review your application to ensure compliance with the eligibility criteria. If any information or documents are missing, you will be contacted for clarification or to provide the necessary information. It’s important to note that you are free to switch healthcare professionals at any time while participating in the program without affecting your eligibility for prescription assistance. Simply inform the program of any changes.

Medication covered

One of the first questions you may have is whether the Sunovion Support® program covers your medication. While it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider or refer to the official Sunovion Support® resources for the most up-to-date information, the program currently only covers the brand name drug Aptiom® (eslicarbazepine acetate).

Additional Information

It’s essential to note that as of February 20, 2023, the brand name drug Latuda will no longer be available through the Sunovion Support® program. Patients who are currently eligible for the Latuda Prescription Assistance Programme on or before February 20, 2023, may still receive a final prescription refill of up to 90 days during the transition period.

For any questions or concerns regarding the application process or program updates, you can call the toll-free number 1-877-850-0819 to speak with a Sunovion Support® Specialist between 8 a.m. ET and 8 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).

If you or someone you care for meets the eligibility criteria, it’s worth exploring the Sunovion Support® program and taking advantage of the assistance it offers.
