Overseas travel brought you face-to-face with malaria. What began as flu-like symptoms spiraled into high fevers, violent chills, and body aches that left you bedridden. Your doctor prescribed Coartem immediately, warning that delayed treatment could turn deadly. The artemisinin-based therapy knocked out the parasites within days, saving you from potentially fatal complications. Recovery felt like a miracle until the pharmacy bill arrived.
Our team at The Rx Advocates works with patients of all ages and backgrounds, helping them enroll in Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that calculate Coartem costs using household income instead of retail pricing.
What is the Coartem Patient Assistance Program?
Pharmaceutical companies producing antimalarial medications fund programs for patients who can’t afford treatment at standard prices. Getting approved means paying substantially less for Coartem, so financial constraints don’t prevent you from completing the full treatment course necessary to eliminate the parasites.
Here’s how it works: You collect your prescription and income documents. We handle the rest – building your application, getting medical verification from your doctor, submitting to manufacturers, tracking approval status. Once you’re in, Coartem becomes available at your pharmacy for treatment.
We help patients access pharmaceutical programs that base antimalarial pricing on what people can afford rather than market rates.
Our pricing is simple and affordable:
How to Qualify
Manufacturers review various factors when evaluating applications. Your chances improve when you meet these income levels:
- Singles making under $40,000 per year
- Couples earning below $60,000 combined annually
- Families of three or more with income under $100,000 yearly
- Current prescription from your doctor
Income represents one piece of the puzzle. Each company looks at other specific criteria for their program. Every case is individually reviewed, so it’s time to stop wondering and reach out for your personal evaluation!

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Coartem Costs
What we charge stays the same regardless of Coartem price changes. Your cost depends only on how many medications need assistance:
- 1 medication: $80 per month
- 2 medications: $90 per month
- 3 medications: $100 per month
- 4+ medications: $110 per month
Malaria treatment requires completing the full medication course for parasite elimination. We built our service for patients dealing with insurance problems like travel illness exclusions, inadequate overseas coverage, or policies that simply don’t cover antimalarials.
Coupons aren’t our thing. We focus on getting patients enrolled in manufacturer programs that provide medication access at prices far below retail.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Below are common questions we receive about Coartem and assistance programs:
With The Rx Advocates, patients pay a fixed monthly service fee, which depends on the number of medications covered.
- 1 Medication (Coartem only) – $80 per month
- 2 Medications (Coartem + 1 other) – $90 per month
- 3 Medications (Coartem + 2 others) – $100 per month

Buying Coartem without program help varies by pharmacy and location. What you’d pay depends on things you can’t control – which pharmacy you use, where you live, and what your insurance covers for antimalarial medications.
Income limits usually sit around $40k for singles, $60k for couples, $100k for families. However, those are just starting points. Companies consider other factors too, so individual assessment matters.
We handle your enrollment and medication coordination – collecting doctor paperwork, filling out manufacturer forms correctly, and making sure you get the medication when treatment is needed.

Malaria kills when left untreated, causing organ failure, brain complications, severe anemia, and death. Incomplete treatment lets parasites survive and develop resistance, making future infections harder to cure.
