Eligibility Requirements

Income Limit
Boehringer Ingelheim's eligibility document (09/2026), read 29 October 2026, states 250% of the federal poverty level ($39,900 for one person) for most medicines and 200% ($31,920) for Combivent, Spiriva and Stiolto Respimat, with higher limits for Alaska and Hawaii. Call 1-800-556-8317 to confirm. See the drugmaker rules dataset.
Insurance Requirements
You qualify on insurance if you have no health insurance, if your insurance does not cover the medicine, or, for the specialty medicines Gilotrif, Hernexeos and Jascayd only, if you have Medicare Part D. Since 15 October 2026 BI Cares accepts no new Medicare Part D or Advantage enrollments for its primary care medicines, including Jardiance, Tradjenta, Spiriva Respimat, Synjardy and Jentadueto. You must live in the U.S. or a U.S. territory.

What changed on this page. On 4 October 2026 we checked this page against Boehringer Ingelheim's own application form (PC-US-145555, September 2025). We removed Praxbind, which is not on the programme's list, and a 400% income limit that BI does not publish; replaced a "coverage gap" rule that no longer exists with the form's actual Medicare test; added the 12 listed medicines the page left out and the programme's phone number; and removed a retail price and processing times we could not source.

Confirm before you apply. Boehringer Cares Patient Assistance Program: 1-800-556-8317 (fax 1-866-851-2827). The foundation decides eligibility, not us, and nothing here is medical advice.

Sources and standards behind this page

Drug coverage in the United States is governed by published rules rather than by any one insurer's summary, and the sources below are the primary ones. They are linked so a reader can check a claim without taking this page's word for it.

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.
