Type 2 diabetes requires daily blood sugar management to prevent serious complications. When Janumet XR costs make combination therapy unaffordable, glucose control suffers and health risks escalate. Monthly medication fees shouldn’t force you to choose between proper diabetes management and other expenses. 

The team at The Rx Advocates takes you through the process step-by-step, making it easy to access Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that reduce prescription costs. We oversee applications so you can prioritize your health.

What is the Janumet XR Patient Assistance Program?

Drug companies operate assistance programs for adults with type 2 diabetes who face affordability challenges. Janumet XR’s program supplies continuous combination therapy rather than brief coupon discounts.

Our role involves guiding you to these programs. In partnership with your endocrinologist, we assemble necessary paperwork and submit thorough applications. We track these through the approval process. After acceptance, we arrange refills so diabetes medication arrives without interruption. We work directly with more than 100 pharmaceutical companies, providing pathways to assistance for over 800 FDA-approved medications.

Income limits help eligibility, but companies assess individual circumstances when deciding. We make certain your application includes all required details.

How to Qualify

Access to programs depends on yearly household earnings and U.S. residency. We review your finances against company standards to see if you satisfy their guidelines.

Common requirements include:

  • Annual income does not exceed $40,000 for individuals
  • Annual income does not exceed $60,000 for couples
  • Annual income does not exceed $100,000 for large families
  • U.S. residency and valid prescription

Although guidelines vary between companies, these are typically common across most. Contact us today so we can determine if you qualify for the program.

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Janumet XR Costs

We’re not a coupon provider, savings card, or insurance company. Instead, we’re an experienced prescription advocacy program dedicated to helping you access assistance programs.

Working with you and your medical providers, we collect application documents and send them to pharmaceutical companies. We stay in touch to confirm paperwork moves through review. Once approved, we schedule refills so combination diabetes therapy continues consistently.

Why PAPs Are Better Than Coupons

Coupons have limitations patients should consider. Patient assistance programs offer more reliable solutions.

Disadvantages of coupons

  • Usage restrictions: Valid only at specific pharmacies or to patients meeting certain eligibility criteria
  • Copay accumulators: Insurance plans may prevent coupons from counting toward out-of-pocket maximums
  • Time limits: Expiration dates require tracking
  • Partial coverage: Final price might still be expensive even with coupons

Advantages of PAPs through The Rx Advocates

  • Significant savings: Far more than simple coupons or savings cards
  • Simplified process: We make applications less tedious
  • Stable pricing: Fixed monthly costs that don’t change
  • Long-term solution: Designed for ongoing diabetes treatment
