About Patient Assistance Programs
Nexium Patient Assistance Programs
AstraZeneca offers patients several ways to save money on their prescription Nexium costs. The pharmaceutical company offers two patient assistance programs that provide free medication for up to a year, and a Purple Plus Savings Card that offers savings of up to $50 a month.
- AZ&Me Prescription Savings Programs (without insurance). This program offers free Nexium to those patients that meet specified income requirements, and have no prescription insurance coverage. Income requirements are as follows:[2]
- $30,000 or less (single)
- $40,000 or less (family of two)
- $50,000 or less (family of three)
- $60,000 or less (family of four)

Medicare D patients may also be able to get free Nexium for up to a year if they earn $30,000 or less a year for individuals and $40,000 or less a year for couples, and if they spent 3% or more of their income the previous year on medication.[2]
Nexium Purple Plus Savings Card
This card provides eligible patients savings based off their insurance copay. Patients with a copay of at least $18 may receive up to $50 in savings on their copay each time they fill a Nexium prescription, up to 12 times per year. Patients without insurance coverage may receive up to $50 in savings when they fill their prescription.[5]
Patients can determine if they qualify by visiting the official Nexium website, or by calling 1.800.4.NEXIUM. If a patient qualifies, they can print their card from the official website. Then, they can present the card, along with their prescription, at their local pharmacy.[1]
