-
Path 1
You're uninsured, your insurance denies coverage for this medicine, or your insurance only partially covers it (and Medicaid isn't your only coverage)
Insurance category: no-insurance
- ·Annual household income at or below 300% FPL; excludes child support, food stamps and alimony. See official eligibility terms.
- ·Limited or no insurance coverage.
- ·Partial coverage may still qualify: if your insurance covers part of the cost but your copay or coinsurance still makes the medicine unaffordable due to financial hardship, you may be eligible.
-
Path 2
You're on Medicaid and applying for the first time
Insurance category: government-other
- ·Annual household income at or below 300% FPL; excludes child support, food stamps and alimony. See official eligibility terms.
- ·As of October 1, 2025, Bausch Health stopped taking part in two federal drug pricing programs, the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and the 340B Drug Pricing Program. If your Medicaid plan no longer covers your Bausch Health medicine, you may be able to get it free through this program.
- ·Some Medicaid plans extended coverage for certain Bausch Health medicines past October 1, 2025 to help patients move onto this program. Apply as soon as you can so you still have your medicine when that coverage ends.
- ·If you have both Medicare and Medicaid, you may not be eligible. Call 1-833-862-8727 to ask about your situation.
