Eligibility Requirements
What changed on this page. On 23 August this page withdrew a 400% income figure it could not confirm. Amgen's Repatha application now states the limit, which is 300% of the poverty guideline ($47,880 for one person), so it is shown above. On 4 October we also removed a Medicare route the Repatha application does not offer, a phone number that belongs to a different Amgen service and a retail price we could not source, corrected the co-pay card amount to Amgen's current $25 offer, and pointed the apply button at the foundation instead of the co-pay card.
Confirm before you apply. Amgen publishes per-product criteria at Amgen Safety Net Foundation and takes calls on 1-800-932-3060. Nothing on this page is medical advice or a guarantee of eligibility; the determination is made by the foundation, not by us.

This page describes how coverage and formularies work. It is not medical advice, and a reader's own plan documents and prescriber decide what applies to them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Uninsured patients can apply to the Amgen Safety Net Foundation, which provides Repatha at no cost to people who have no insurance coverage, a household income at or below $47,880 for one person or $64,920 for two (plus $17,040 for each extra person; about 25% higher in Alaska and 15% higher in Hawaii), and six months or more of U.S. residency. Call the foundation on 1-800-932-3060.
Yes. Amgen says commercially insured patients can pay as little as $25 for a 1-month supply or $50 for a 3-month supply with the Repatha Co-Pay Card, subject to program maximums. It is not available to patients with government insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid. Phone 1-844-737-2842.
Not through the Amgen Safety Net Foundation: its Repatha application requires no insurance coverage, and the co-pay card excludes government insurance. Medicare patients can check Medicare Extra Help and independent foundations, which our Assistance Finder lists.
