Epinephrine is a necessity for those dealing with life threatening food allergies. However, it can be costly. For a limited time, you can get a free EpiPen*.
2013 marks the 25th anniversary of the EpiPen and Mylan Specialty L.P. is celebrating in numerous ways this year.
One such way is with the “$0 copay offer”, a copay card available to both cash paying and commercially insured patients.
“Mylan has a long-standing dedication to increasing access to epinephrine auto-injectors through innovative access solutions such as the EpiPen4Schools program, and we’re pleased to continue that commitment by introducing our $0 Co-Pay Offer,” said Heather Bresch, CEO of Mylan.
What this means is that with the $0 copay card, you will not need to pay your regular insurance copayment when you pick up your prescription.
What to Do
- Call Mylan Specialty at 1-800-395-3376 and give them your information and they will mail you your $0 copay card.
- Make sure you have a prescription for an EpiPen or EpiPen Jr. from your doctor.
- Give the $0 copay card to the pharmacist with your insurance card or insurance information.
