Cost and Financial Support

1. What financial assistance is available if I have commercial insurance?

Patients who have commercial or private insurance may be eligible to enroll in the AVEO ACE CoPay Assistance Program. Eligible patients could pay as little as $0 for their FOTIVDA prescription, up to $25,000 per calendar year.

2. What financial assistance is available if I have Medicare or government insurance?

Patients with government insurance are not eligible for the commercial Copay Program. However, your ACE Program Specialist can help identify financial support that may be available from independent charitable foundations.

The availability of charitable support is determined solely by the individual foundations.

Medicare Extra Help: Some patients enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan may be eligible for Extra Help. The Extra Help program helps lower the cost of prescription drugs for eligible patients. Your ACE Program Specialist can check if you are eligible and guide you on how to apply.

Your dedicated Program Specialist at ACE will help you understand your insurance coverage.

Specialty medications often require a prior authorization (PA). This is a verification from your doctor that explains that the prescribed medication is medically necessary to treat your condition.

Your ACE Program Specialist will work with your healthcare provider to support the appeal process and keep you informed every step of the way.

The FOTIVDA® (tivozanib) Copay Card program provides eligible, commercially insured patients up to $25,000 per calendar year toward a patient’s FOTIVDA prescription costs. The FOTIVDA Copay Card program is not valid for uninsured patients. Annual and transaction limits apply. No other purchase is necessary.

Eligible patients must be prescribed FOTIVDA for an FDA-approved indication.

Eligible patients with a FOTIVDA prescription may pay as little as $0 toward their out-of-pocket costs. Patients must be 18 years or older to enroll and activate a copay card. The program can only be used by eligible residents of the United States, Puerto Rico, and Guam, and at participating pharmacies. The offer does not constitute prescription drug coverage and is not intended to substitute for health insurance. The offer is not available to patients receiving any form of prescription coverage under any federal, state, or government-funded insurance program or where prohibited by law. Such programs include Medicare (including Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE, Department of Defense, and Veterans Affairs programs. If at any time a patient begins receiving prescription drug coverage under any federal, state, or government-funded healthcare program, the patient will no longer be able to use the FOTIVDA Copay Card and the patient must call AVEO ACE patient support at 1-833-368-4832 to terminate participation.

This offer cannot be combined with any other coupon, free trial, discount, prescription savings card, or similar offering. Patients who are members of insurance plans that adjust their patients’ out-of-pocket or co-insurance responsibilities for certain prescription drugs based upon the patient’s enrollment in manufacturer-sponsored copay assistance for such drugs (often termed “accumulator” or “maximizer” programs) may be restricted from using the FOTIVDA Copay Card. AVEO ACE reserves the right to reduce or eliminate the copay assistance available to patients enrolled in an accumulator or maximizer program.

The value of this program is exclusively for the benefit of patients and is intended to be credited toward patient out-of-pocket obligations and maximums, including applicable copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Patients are responsible for any out-of-pocket costs beyond the program’s annual maximum benefit. By redeeming this offer, the patient and pharmacist agree to not seek reimbursement for value received from the FOTIVDA Copay program from any third-party payers. Restrictions, including monthly maximums, may apply.

To participate in the FOTIVDA Copay Card program, the patient will be asked to provide personal information such as name, date of birth, contact information, and insurance carrier. The information provided is needed for the program processor to enroll the patient and apply the benefits of the copay card program. The data shared with AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc (“AVEO Oncology”) will be aggregated and de-identified and used by AVEO Oncology to monitor internal business activities and to modify or improve the program. For more information, please see AVEO Oncology’s privacy policy at www.aveooncology.com/privacy-policy.

AVEO ACE reserves the right to terminate, rescind, revoke, or modify the copay card program at any time without notice.
