Eligibility Requirements

Income Limit
⚠️ Amgen does not publish one threshold, income limits VARY BY PRODUCT and are adjusted for household size against current federal poverty guidelines. A flat 400% figure previously appeared here and could not be confirmed for Repatha specifically, so it has been withdrawn. ⭐ Two adjustments worth knowing because almost nobody states them: limits are approximately 25% higher in Alaska and approximately 15% higher in Hawaii. You must also have lived in the U.S. or its territories for six months or longer.
Insurance Requirements
Uninsured patients must NOT be eligible for Medicaid, Medicare or other financial support to qualify through the foundation. ⭐ However, for certain products, Medicare patients with an affordability gap who cannot access alternatives such as Medicare Extra Help or independent copay foundation funding may still be eligible, so a Medicare beneficiary should ask rather than assume they are excluded. Commercially insured patients use the Repatha Copay Card, which is not available to patients with government insurance.

What changed on this page. A flat 400% federal-poverty-level limit was stated as fact. Amgen sets income limits per product, not as one percentage, and the figure could not be confirmed for Repatha, so it has been withdrawn rather than replaced with a guess. Also added: the Alaska and Hawaii uplifts, the six-month residency requirement, and the Medicare affordability-gap route, which the previous "uninsured only" wording hid entirely. Corrected 23 August 2026.

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.
