Who Qualifies for the Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program (PAP)?
If you need Fiasp (insulin aspart) but cannot afford it, the Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program (PAP) may be able to provide it to you at no cost. This program is designed for people living with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes who meet specific income and insurance requirements. For a single-person household, your annual income must be at or below $60,240 to qualify. On the insurance side, you must either be uninsured or have Medicare Part D — patients covered by Medicaid, a Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), or VA benefits are generally not eligible for this program. If you meet these basic criteria, you may be able to receive Fiasp shipped directly to your home at no charge.

About Fiasp (Insulin Aspart)
Fiasp is a rapid-acting insulin analog manufactured by Novo Nordisk. It is FDA-approved to help manage blood sugar levels in adults and children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. As a mealtime insulin, it is designed to be taken around mealtimes as part of a broader diabetes management plan prescribed by your doctor. Without insurance or financial assistance, Fiasp can cost several hundred dollars per month, placing it out of reach for many patients. Novo Nordisk created its Patient Assistance Program specifically to help uninsured and underinsured patients access this medication without paying full price.

Income Eligibility: Full Breakdown
The Novo Nordisk PAP uses income limits set at 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The thresholds below apply to your total annual household income:
| Household Size | Maximum Annual Income |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $60,240 |
| 2 persons | $81,760 |
| 3 persons | $103,280 |
| 4 persons | $124,800 |
Your income is typically verified using your prior year federal tax return (Form 1040), a W-2, or three months of recent pay stubs. Novo Nordisk will use whichever document best reflects your current financial situation.
If your household income is above these limits, you will not qualify for the PAP under standard guidelines. However, you are not without options — see the "Alternatives If You Don't Qualify" section below for other ways to reduce your costs.
Keep in mind that "household income" includes all sources of income for everyone living in your home, not just your own earnings. If your household size is larger than four people, contact Novo Nordisk directly at (866) 310-7549 to ask about thresholds that may apply to your specific situation.

Step-by-Step: How to Apply
Step 1: Gather your documents.
Before starting your application, collect the following: a completed application form (with your physician's signature), proof of income (Form 1040, W-2, or three months of pay stubs), and a valid prescription for Fiasp.
Step 2: Choose your application method.
You can apply in one of three ways:
Step 3: Have your doctor sign the application.
The program requires a physician signature. Coordinate with your prescriber's office in advance so this step does not delay your submission.
Step 4: Submit your application.
Send all documents together through your chosen method. Incomplete applications may be returned, so double-check that every required item is included.
Step 5: Wait for a decision.
Processing typically takes 7 to 10 business days after Novo Nordisk receives your complete application.

What to Expect: Timeline and Delivery
Once your application is reviewed, Novo Nordisk will notify you — and typically your prescriber — of the approval decision. Processing usually takes 7 to 10 business days from the date your complete application is received. If approved, your Fiasp will be shipped directly to your home address at no cost to you. You do not need to pick up the medication at a pharmacy or prescriber's office. Your enrollment is valid for one year, after which you will need to reauthorize annually by resubmitting updated income documentation and a renewed physician signature to continue receiving the medication.

Alternatives If You Don't Qualify
If you do not meet the PAP's requirements, these options may still help reduce your costs:
1. Biosimilar alternatives: Ask your doctor about Insulin Aspart, a biosimilar version of Fiasp that may be available at a lower cost through your pharmacy.
2. Fiasp Savings Card (for insured patients): If you have commercial or private insurance, you may be eligible for the Fiasp Savings Card, which can lower your out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy. Learn more at https://www.fiasp.com/savings-and-support/fiasp-savings-card.html.
3. State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs (SPAPs): Many states offer their own prescription assistance programs for residents who do not qualify for federal programs. Contact your state's department of health or aging to find out what is available where you live.
4. NeedyMeds.org: This free, nonprofit database lists hundreds of assistance programs by drug name, diagnosis, and state. Visit www.needymeds.org to search for additional options that may fit your situation.
