Managing seizure disorders or bipolar disorder requires consistent medication, but the financial burden of prescriptions like Depakote can make treatment feel impossible. For many patients, the monthly cost creates difficult choices between essential medication and other necessities.
At The Rx Advocates, we’re dedicated to helping patients gain access to prescription medications at affordable rates through Patient Assistance Programs that provide meaningful, long-term savings.
What is the Depakote Patient Assistance Program?
Pharmaceutical companies sponsor programs for patients requiring anticonvulsant therapy who face financial barriers. The program ensures qualifying individuals maintain consistent access to Depakote.
You provide your physician’s prescription and household income documentation. Our team handles all paperwork, submits your application, and monitors progress until approval. Once enrolled, your medication is covered.
We’re a prescription drug advocacy program connecting people to patient assistance programs offered by US-based pharmaceutical companies. Many people save hundreds or thousands of dollars monthly.
How to Qualify
To be eligible, people must meet one of the following criteria:
- Singles earning less than $40,000 annually
- Couples with combined annual income less than $60,000
- Larger families with annual income less than $100,000

However, it’s important to note that even if you meet these guidelines, approval isn’t guaranteed. Our team will evaluate your specific situation. Contact us to find out if you qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about Depakote and patient assistance programs.
With The Rx Advocates, patients pay a fixed monthly service fee, which depends on the number of medications covered.
- 1 Medication (Depakote only) – $80 per month
- 2 Medications (Depakote + 1 other) – $90 per month
- 3 Medications (Depakote + 2 others) – $100 per month
- 4+ Medications – $110 per month
Importantly, there are no hidden fees, and prices remain consistent even if retail costs fluctuate.
Without a patient assistance program, Depakote is expensive. Right now, retail prices of Depakote vary based on several factors.
Several factors influence the final price a patient may pay:
- Dosage: Higher prescribed strengths or quantities cost more
- Location: Prices vary by region due to healthcare and pharmacy pricing differences
- Pharmacy: Each pharmacy sets its own retail structure, which can cause major variations
- Insurance Coverage: Patients with commercial insurance may pay less, while those without coverage often face the full retail cost
This means that two patients could pay very different amounts for the same prescription, depending on where they live, where they buy their medication, and their insurance status.
Most patients meet the requirements when annual household income stays below $40k for individuals, $60k for couples, or $100k for larger families. Since manufacturer requirements can differ, The Rx Advocates assess each case individually to determine eligibility.
The Rx Advocates manage enrollment and monthly refills, coordinating all necessary paperwork with your prescribing physician, submitting completed applications to manufacturers, and arranging medication deliveries to prevent treatment interruptions.
