Travatan Z Patient Assistance Program

Vision loss creeps up silently with glaucoma. You don’t feel high eye pressure destroying optic nerves. Your ophthalmologist caught it during routine screening and prescribed Travatan Z drops to lower the pressure. Daily drops protected your vision successfully. Then insurance reclassified it, making the medication preventing your blindness unaffordable.

The Rx Advocates works with glaucoma patients, connecting them to Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that price Travatan Z based on income rather than insurance formulary preferences.

What is the Travatan Z Patient Assistance Program?

Eye medication manufacturers operate funding for glaucoma patients who can’t afford pressure-lowering drops. Qualifying drops your costs substantially, preventing insurance from forcing you onto medications that failed to protect your vision previously.

You provide prescription and income documents. We construct applications, get medical verification from your eye doctor, submit to manufacturers, track approvals. Once enrolled, Travatan Z arrives at your home monthly.

We link glaucoma patients to drug company programs that set eye drop prices based on what you can afford.

How to Qualify

Reviewers check multiple eligibility factors. Your approval chances improve when hitting these income marks:

  • Singles making under $40,000 yearly
  • Couples earning below $60,000 combined per year
  • Families of three or more with income under $100,000 annually
  • Active prescription from your ophthalmologist

Income alone doesn’t determine everything. Manufacturers weigh other factors specific to their programs. Each case gets an individual assessment. Want to know if you qualify? Get in touch for evaluation.

The Rx Advocates Can Help Reduce Travatan Z Costs

Service fees stay constant even when Travatan Z prices rise. Your payment depends only on medication count needing help:

  • 1 medication: $80 per month
  • 2 medications: $90 per month
  • 3 medications: $100 per month
  • 4+ medications: $110 per month

Glaucoma needs daily eye drops for preventing irreversible blindness. We built this for patients facing insurance barriers – formulary exclusions for branded drops, step therapy requiring failed generic attempts first, or policies covering only cheapest options regardless of effectiveness.

We don’t work through coupons. We process manufacturer enrollment keeping eye medications accessible at manageable prices.

About Travatan Z

Travatan Z contains travoprost, lowering eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

How it works: Travoprost increases fluid drainage from inside the eye, dropping intraocular pressure. Lower pressure prevents optic nerve damage and vision loss.

Administration: One drop in affected eye nightly. Remove contacts before using. Wait 15 minutes before reinserting. Don’t touch the dropper to the eye or anything else.

Side effects:

  • Common: Eye redness, longer/darker eyelashes, itching, darker eyelid skin
  • Serious: Permanent iris darkening, eye swelling, inflammation

Important warnings: Can permanently darken eye color, especially hazel, green, or blue eyes. Makes eyelashes grow longer, thicker, darker. Darkens eyelid skin. May worsen eye inflammation. Can cause retinal swelling in certain patients.
